Update multiple infotype records

Hi experts,
Is there any FM which can be used to update/insert/delete multiple records at a time in PD infotypes? IF so, could you please provide me the name of the FM.
Thanks,
Rahul.

try to use: RH_PNNNN_MAINTAIN

Creating / Updating Custom Infotype Records

Hello everbody,
We implement alot of custom HR infotypes in our system, both PA & HRP.
For the past several we have been using BDC (Batch-Input) recorded functions in order to update / create the records in our infotypes.
We're currently facing an upcoming ECC upgrade , and I would like to lead a change that will eventually lead to us using generic SAP supplied functions.
I've researched a few functions that might do the trick:
RH_INSERT_INFTY:
This one is giving me an SY-SUBRC 2 error code - Insert error, I tried to select a current record and insert it as different objid but this doesnt work.
HR_INFOTYPE_OPERATION:
I've read of several people that recommended using this function, but it is not released by SAP and I couldnt get it to work as well.
BAPI_HRMASTER_SAVE_REPL_MULT:
This one seems to work for sap infotypes but I dont think it suits custom infotypes.
What is the "official" way of doing such operations?
thanks in advance,
Eli.

Hello Dilak,
Im currently trying to insert a new infotype record of infotype HRP9226.
First I call function RH_GET_NEXT_NUMBER to get an objid.
then I fill an HRP9226 line.
after this i call the function:
call function 'RH_INSERT_INFTY'

vtask = 'S'

I'm getting an "Error_During_Insert" and Im out of options regarding what I can possibly do.

Update Multiple DB records in one table with one form

I am developing an onine proofing system that will display a
number of images, and then allow the customer to approve each
image, as well as provide comments.
I currently have a table setup with the various elements (an
image that dynamically gets its name, details about the image, and
the neccessary form fields).
See This
Image for the layout
I would then apply a repeat region (the number of signs would
vary), and like to update all the records with the customer's
comments and approval with one form. How is this done? I have
downloaded a trial of the developers toolkit, but the documentation
is horrible. I would be willing to buy an extension that will allow
this, if one exists.

I found an extension that did this in about two minutes:

Excellent software, highly recommended. Easy to figure out,
and got this "problem" resolved fast.

Updating multiple infotypes

Hi,
We have a custom infotype which updates many other infotypes the code was written for PA30. We now for various reasons (ESS etc.) have to migrate the code and make the code decoupled.
I have read SAPHELP -> [Developing an Infotype in Personnel Administration -> ...Modify Existing Records|http://help.sap.com/erp2005_ehp_03/helpdata/EN/43/a503b963161bbfe10000000a1553f7/frameset.htm]
and fully understand how to do this through containers - even have a good example with itype 0045 (CL_HRPA_INFTY_0045) which updates itype 0078.
To achieve the above the attribue a_masterdata_buffer has to be instantiated. The condition for this is if Legacy_Mode = false.(CL_HRPA_MASTERDATA_FACTORY=>Delayed_constructer( ) instantiates a_masterdata_buffer)
The only way i can see this happening is if Concurrent Empoyment is activated.
CALL METHOD cl_hrce_masterswitches=>check_released is true (note 520965)
and the following entries are activate in table T77S0
CCURE MAINS the master switch
CCURE GLOPY payroll of global employees
CCURE GLEMP management of global employees
Is there another way? Can containers be used another way?
if not
What is the implication of turning on concurrent employment - given we dont want to use any of the features?
cheers

Hi Ian,
Sorry to ask using your thread..But, were you able to answer your question? I'm having the same issues. I plan on updating infotype 2003 (SAP_PT) and 0007 (SAP_PA). I need to update either one of them but not both and I'm getting error in HCM Process and forms.
Thanks!

Creating/Updating multiple customer records via DEBMAS06

Hi all,
I have used DEBMAS06 for inbound processing of customer master records in SAP. My problem is legacy is providing multiple rows of data (multiple customer) in one single file.
Segment type E1KNA1M shows minimum & maximum number of segments in sequence as 1. Does that mean we cannot create multiple customers through one single call of the IDOC from XI?
We are using XI as middleware.
Please respond. I will reward aptly.
Thanks,
Bhaskar Pal.

Damian,
you can update mutiple records in one statement just make the occurance to unbounded in your data type declartion for JDBC reciver .

Update multiple infotypes for an employee

I have a requirement to update some fields in various PA infotypes like 0002, 0006, 0008, 0015, 0021 and a few custom PA infotypes (9xxx) for a given set of employees.
Is there any method by which I would be able to update the required fields of all the above listed infotypes for an employee in one go? Is it possible to update all the infotypes of all the given set of employees in one go?
Please let me know the FM that could be used to meet the requirement. An example would also be helpful.
Thanks,
Jiten

Please check if there is already personnel actions defined with all the infotypes you are trying to update. If you have them, then you can use HR_INFOTYPE_OPERATION or HR_MANTAIN_MASTERDATA very easily with one single call. For that please refer the logic of PA48 transaction, simple one.
If the personnel action is not defined, then you need to call the FM HR_INFOTYPE_OPERATION separately for each infotype. Or HR_MAINTAIN_MASTERDATA at once for all of them.
From the list of standard infotypes mentioned, only IT0008 is having repetitive structure, handle it as a special case else others looks very similar.
Note : I don't see IT0000 mentioned in the list, hence i presume that there are no personnel actions defined for this set. But you can get it confirmed from your functional folks.

'HR_INFOTYPE_OPERATION' MOD is not updating my infotype

Hi all,
I have a custom field called ZXXXX in both 2010 and 0015, I'm trying to clear it up if it's populated and update certain infotype record for the particular employee.
but I was able to clear ZXXXX in infotype 0015 but not 2010, I'm using the same code but not understand why it works for infotype 0015 but not 2010. any thought?

I want to update multiple record in database which is based on condition

hi all,
I am using Jdev 11.1.2.1.0
I have one table named(Pay_apply_det) in this table i want to update one column named(Hierarchy) every time and according to change i want to update or i want to maintain my log table named(pay_apply_appr).It based on level wise approval when the lowest person approve the record show on next level but if the second
level person back it will be show only previous level hierarchy.And when the final approval happen the Posting_tag column of pay_apply_det will be updated too with hierarchy column.
i have drag pay_apply_det's data control as a table in my .jsf page and add one column approve status in UI .in the approve status i used radio group which return A for approve B for back R for reject through value binding i make it get or set method in it baking bean.
in backing bean class i have written code
    public void approveMethod(ActionEvent actionEvent) {
        ViewObject v9=new UtilClass().getView("PayApplyDetView1Iterator");

    }here i put my approve status radio value in session variable because i also want to update my pay_apply_appr table which code i written in pay_apply_det IMPL class.
Every thing is running well when i update single record but when i want to update multiple record then my current row only updated in pay_apply_det but log table( pay_apply_appr) created for all record.
so is there any solution plz help me.
thanks
RAFAT

Hi Rafat,
If you are able to insert into, all you need to do is iterate through the rows. For this , before the first IF condition
if(getR2().equals("A")&& h1!=1)Get the row count using int numRows =vo9.getRowCount(); , and then write it before the IF condition
if (int i=0;i<numRows;i++} After
row9.setAttribute("ClaimedOn", null);
        }write vo9.next(); to iterate to next row,
Hope this will work.

Performance issue while updating the custom infotype records

Hi All
i have the info type with 80,000 records my requirement is to change the infotype wage type value to the certain hard coded values .
after populating the final internal table , in loop i am passing the records and updating the info type by using the hr_infotype_operation function module
i have done the coding like bellow .
loop at lt_infotype assigning < x>
at new pernr.
bapi_employee_enquee
endat.
hr_infotype_operation
at end of pernr .
bapi_employee_dequee.
endat.
end loop.
but it is taking nearly 15 hours to update all the records .please suggest me better solution for reducing the execution time .
Thanks & Regards ,
pramodh.m

The delay problem can be solved with HR_INFOTYPE_OPERATION by using it with another FM i.e. HR_PSBUFFER_INITIALIZE the delay happens because of buffer problem. Use HR_PSBUFFER_INITIALIZE inside the loop just before you call HR_INFOTYPE_OPERATION and you wont see that much delay.

Update Multiple records using NW CE WebDyn Pro 7.2 interface ITEMDETAILS

We are trying to use SAP Netweaver CE 7.2 and NetWeaver Design Studio 7.2 with the Web Dynpro application interfaces configured to connect to our MDM 7.1 SP06 repositories to develop web screens that allow our end users the ability to maintain MDM repository data without the use of DataManager.
Our first application was to be a simple one to show the business the benefit of SAP Netweaver. Itu2019s very easy to use the interfaces for SEARCH, RESULTSET, ITEMDETAILS, MATCH and MERGE if you plan to maintain one record at a time. We would like to update many records at the same time.
Using the configuration described previously, I find that I am able to select multiple records at one time using the RESULTSET interface and the Context folder of u201CSelectedRecordsu201D but I am not able to pass multiple records at one time to the context u201CIODatau201D used by the ITEMDETAILS interface and allow my end users to see and update multiple records at one time.
If I can pass multiple records from RESULTSET to ITEMDETAILS for display and update would you please provide me with an example of how I would do this in NetWeaver Design Studio for NW CE 7.2..
If I can NOT pass multiple records from RESULTSET to ITEMDETAILS for display and update, Would I then have to write my own wrapper application to read multiple records selected using the RESULTSET interface and the develop my own UPDATE view to display and update more than one record at a time. This would be time consuming since I would also have to write my own back out procedures and validation of update procedures that already happen within ITEMDETAILS. Do you happen to have any CE application examples that show how this is done for a NW CE MDM repository that I can see? The current documentation u201CHow to Build Web Applications Using MDM Web Dynpro Components. pdfu201D falls short in the area of updating multiple records.
Thank you in Advance

Bugs aside, if it's VERY noisy, that might just be the out-of-sync problem (something I'm very familiar with now).
Search the forum for "aggregate sync" and you should get some clues, if this is indeed the problem.
Short of it is, you need to sync the two devices together. Easiest way seems to be to connect the two devices via S/PDIF and set Clock Source to S/PDIF for the "slave" device (set in Audio Midi).
You can also just set the Clock Source as the "master" device in the drop down, bypassing the need for the S/PDIF cable altogether, but I haven't tried this myself.

Updating multiple records from single form (ASP)

I have a nested repeat region.
I have created in the parent, a form with 3 fields and an update button.
the child records all have multiple columns, 3 of which correspond to the parent.
Athe parent is bound to the child records by the shipmentID
I need to be able to update all child records from the form in the parent.
The case is this.
The child records are orders with shipdates and frequencies
The parent contains a form with fields for shipdate and frequency
The administrator needs to change the shipdate and/or frequency for all child records.
(The child records are forms as well--but that's another issue that works fine)
Shipment ID
Date Field
Freq Field
UPDATE Button
ShipmentID
Record 1
Data case1
Date
ShipmentID
Record 2
Data case 2
Date
I am doing this in classic asp with an SQL database.
So how do I get the form to update all record
[Subject title edited by moderator to make clear ASP involved]

Hi,
This is one of those questions that would require far more explanation that is reasonable to expect in a forum. You should do a little poking around in the nearest Barnes & Nobles. About a half hour in a chare with a good ASP book and vanilla latte should have you on the right track.

This is how i do it, but its not working.

Updating multiple records without having to use a cursor

I am trying to update multiple records in a table.
Eg
Table A -20 records
Table B -10 records.
Would like to update Table B with the updated records in Table A for those records which the primary key matches
and I dont want to use cursors. Is this possible??
Thanx in Advance.

Please refer to the test below, it should give you the general idea,SQL> desc tableA;
Name                            Null?    Type
SEQ                                      NUMBER
INV                                      VARCHAR2(20)
AMT                                      NUMBER(12,2)
AMT2                                     NUMBER(12,2)
SQL> desc tableB;
Name                            Null?    Type
SEQ                                      NUMBER
INV                                      VARCHAR2(20)
AMT                                      NUMBER(12,2)
AMT2                                     NUMBER(12,2)
SQL> select count(*) from tableA;
COUNT(*)
         6
SQL> select count(*) from tableB;
COUNT(*)
        12
SQL> UPDATE tableB b
2 SET b.inv = NVL((SELECT a.inv from tableA a WHERE a.seq = b.seq), b.inv),
3      b.amt = NVL((SELECT a.amt from tableA a WHERE a.seq = b.seq), b.amt),
4      b.amt2 = NVL((SELECT a.amt2 from tableA a WHERE a.seq = b.seq), b.amt2)
5 /
12 rows updated.
*** Please note that this is DIFFERENT from what you asked, here tableB is having more rows, which is fine. We **may not be** able update tableA in this example by reversing the table names, because the join may bring more rows than UPDATE statement needs. ***Thx,
Sri

Programmatic updating multiple records of a table in ADF

Hi,
I am using Jdeveloper : 10g 10.1.3.3
Problem : I need to update multiple records in DB using ADF feature.
The senario is like user is shown records of item consisting of item name, item code, category code, price etc. then user clicks "change category code" link availabe against each record. In next page user is shown current code and provided a text box to enter new code. Once i get this in my bean i need to update all records as:
update item_info set category_code = :new_code where category_code = :current_code. Means to udate category code in all the records where category_code is :current_code.
I have Entity and View Object for this table.
How do i update multiple records using created view which is entity based?
Have A Nice Time!
Regards,
Kevin

In ADF you don't use update statement directly. This is done by the framework.
You have to search for the records which match your condition category_code = :current_code using your VO based on the entity.
Then iterate over the result set and change each row to your need setCategoryCode(newCode);
When you commit the changes they are persist them in the DB.
To see the changes in the UI you have to update the display using PPR or execute the query again.
