Updating a custom object type

Please, does anybody know how to update an custom object type which is created as table.
I did the following:
CREATE TYPE tmp as object..
CREATE TYPE tmp_table as TABLE of tmp;
Is it possible to update tmp_table and if so how?
Thanks.

Example:
create type address_ty as object
(Street varchar2(50)
,city varchar2(25)
,zip number)
create type person_ty as object
(name varchar2(50)
,address address_ty)
create table customer
(customer_id number
,person person_ty)
insert into customer (1, person_ty ('Name', address_ty ('Street Name', 'City Name', 1111)));
insert into customer (2, person_ty ('Name 2', address_ty ('Street Name 2', 'City Name 2', 1111)));
commit;
update customer
set person = person_ty ('Name 2', address_ty ('New Street Name 2', 'City Name 2', 1111))
where customer_id = 2;

Mass update on custom object..:Urgent

Hi All,
Is there any possible way to mass update on custom object as currently we can mass update only fro the following record types:Accounts,Activities (tasks, appointments),Contacts,Opportunities,Leads,Service Requests .Is there any other possible way so that we can mass update on custom object?
Thanks in advance,
Manish.

Manish,
I don't think this is currently possible from within CRM On Demand.
As an alternative, you could consider 2 options:
1. Use the DataLoader:
- Export all the Custom Object Record ID's (Required/User Key Fields) of the batch you would like to update. Once Exported, put them in a certain folder (This way you could keep track of all the updates you are making, make 2 sets (Original and Updated) Updated will contain the updated values file which you can re-import.
2. Use a .NET utility (We have implemented this for one of our clients to do a certain type of periodic update on a Custom Object)

Generic Object Services for Custom Object Type

I would like some advice please. I am not an ABAP Developer but I would like to enable the generic object services for transaction PP01 for a custom object type.
I have searched for information, which suggests that the object needs to be published using the function module SWU_OBJECT_PUBLISH so that it is available in the Business Object Repository. If this is correct, please could someone tell me (in simple terms) how I can do this (with the assistance of an ABAP developer)?
My colleague did some debugging which seemed to suggest that in order for the generic object services to be available, the field OBJTYP needs to be populated in table T778O. Is this correct? If so, how should this be done?
Your advice would be greatly appreciated.

Corinne

Hi,
i'm also looking for the solution you have asked for.
if you know how to do it please reply me with the solution.

Is it Possible to create custom Object type in configuration Tab

Hi ,
We have object type for table in Development Tab in SOLAR02 , is it possible to create a custom object type to represent the table object type in Configuration Tab.
Please let me know the steps , if it is possible.

New custom object type - SWO1

Hi All,
I need to create a custom object type using SWO1.
The object type needs to be linked to a report program with selection screen(or its tcode).
The selection screen carries just 1field. The output is a new screen.
Would appreciate if any1 can tell me the step-by-step process to accomplish my objective.
-Ram.

Enter a name.
Hit create. Populate the manadatory pop ups don't populate super type.
Blow out the key field. Create a key field.
Blow out the methods - add a method. Add the code for the method - select the method and hit the program button add code as below:
BEGIN_METHOD RUNDUPREPORT CHANGING CONTAINER.
   SET PARAMETER ID 'VPA' FIELD OBJECT-KEY-PARTNEREMPLOYEEID.
export object-key-partneremployeeid to memory id '99'.
   CALL TRANSACTION 'ZEML' AND SKIP FIRST SCREEN.
*object-key-partneremployeeid.
END_METHOD.
Create your event.
My method calls an abap I wrote that is bound to a transaction.
You will need to set the release status for all of the elements of your object and the object itself.
The question I have is why. Are you calling the object in a workflow? If so you will need to use the fm as below:
DATA: OBJTYPE LIKE SWETYPECOU-OBJTYPE VALUE 'ZRM_WWCONT',
    EVENT LIKE SWETYPECOU-EVENT VALUE 'DuplicateEmail',
     OBJKEY LIKE SWEINSTCOU-OBJKEY,
        EVENTID LIKE SWEDUMEVID-EVTID.
    DATA: BEGIN OF EVENT_CONTAINER OCCURS 0.
            INCLUDE STRUCTURE SWCONT.
    DATA: END OF EVENT_CONTAINER.
    OBJKEY = KNVK-PARNR.
    CALL FUNCTION 'SWE_EVENT_CREATE'
         EXPORTING
              OBJTYPE              = OBJTYPE
              OBJKEY               = OBJKEY
              EVENT                = EVENT
        START_WITH_DELAY     = ' '
        START_RECFB_SYNCHRON = ' '
        IMPORTING
             EVENT_ID             = EVENTID
         TABLES
              EVENT_CONTAINER      = EVENT_CONTAINER
         EXCEPTIONS
              OBJTYPE_NOT_FOUND    = 1
              OTHERS               = 2.
    COMMIT WORK.
Good Luck.

Delegation of Custom Object Types

Dear Gurus,
What is the need for DELEGATING a custom object type that we create using SWO1.
Thanks,
VV

HI Balajisap ,
'the event 'releasestepcreated' has to be triggered for object types BUS2105 and the custom created for BUS2105 in SWEL right?. But i am getting only BUS2105 not the custom one'..
The system will always show the standard BO not the custom one. Afetr dlegating you custom BO to the standard one, use your standard BO to trigger your worflow. The standard BO will contain the cistom properties after delegation.

Data import/update on Custom Objects

Hi,
We are using the Custom Object1 for capturing site data within an opportunity. Since the custom object does not have capability to check for duplicates, the users have now entered data into this object which have lot of duplicates and also the data quality and integrity is lost. I am trying to see if there is an option to export this data and reimport them back after cleansing the data.
I then realised while importing custom objects, the only available option is to use external id.All the site that have been entered by the users do not have any external unique id. Also there is no option to do a mass delete records within the custom object1.
I understand that the only option to cleanse and reimport them back into ondemand is using web services. I want to use web services as last option.
Is there any other option to reimport them back into ondemand using the import utility after cleansing the data.
I would like to know what is the best practice while using custom objects. Is it advisable to populate a default value in the external unique id for custom objects while creating new records. If i had populated some value in the external unique ids while creating those records, i would have had the option to update the existing records. Now i don't even that option.
I am looking for some suggestions for this issue.
Thanks
Swami

Bobb,
I exported the data and mapped the row id to the external unique id. Like i said before, the external id is blank in crm ondemand when it is created. We did not have any default value specified for the external unique id.
When i tried to import with overwrite option, it does not find a match.
I get the following error message as i expected.
Row Id: AEMA-EYGFE     No matching record has been found. The import process will ignore this record.
Row Id: AEMA-F8CPC     No matching record has been found. The import process will ignore this record.
Row Id: AEMA-12CLIA     No matching record has been found. The import process will ignore this record.
Unless i do a web service update of External Unique ID in crm ondemand, the import option will not work.
Thanks

Packaging custom Objects TYPE

Hello everybody,
i wonder if it is possible to "package" objects into package definition as follow:
CREATE OR REPLACE PACKAGE OBJECTS_TEST IS
TYPE MYTYPE IS OBJECT(T0 VARCHAR2(200),T1 VARCHAR2(200));
when i try to execute this I always receive the following error:
ERROR line 3, col 22, ending_line 3, ending_col 22, Found '(', Expecting: ;
So far, seems that the definition of the object must go internally to the PACKAGE BODY, therefore into a FUNCTION/PROCEDURE.
I would like to define a package that works as a global handler for all my objects used in my schema, what I'm supposed to do ?
Any help will be very appreciated,
Thank you,
Luigi

Thank you everybody for your support, and as requested I'll try to be more precise.
I'm developing functions and procedure to manipulate data that will then be used by a Business Object universe.
As for now, I've opted to develop some custom transformation procedure in PL/SQL to handle special cases where strings contains value pairs like :
1~FirstText~2~SecondText
From this point onward, I need to create a view that needs to be like this:
VALUE | TEXT
1 | FirstText
2 | SecondText
So far, I've build a PL/SQL procedure that parse the string and returns a TABLE OF OBJECTS to be further used in a VIEW with more or less 100 records.
Those objects where initially declared externally to my package in this way:
CREATE OR REPLACE TYPE RadioQuestionParam IS OBJECT (
                                            Q_ID     VARCHAR2 (50 CHAR),
                                            Q_F_ID VARCHAR2 (50 CHAR),
                                            Q_VALUE VARCHAR2 (4000 CHAR),
                                            Q_TEXT VARCHAR2 (4000 CHAR)
CREATE OR REPLACE TYPE RadioQuestionParamTable IS TABLE OF RadioQuestionParam;
/and the procedure that will use them is...
create or replace package objects_test
FUNCTION PARAMS2ROWS2     (P_Q_ID      IN VARCHAR2,
                             P_Q_F_ID    IN VARCHAR2,
                            P_Q_PARAM   IN VARCHAR2)
                            RETURN RadioQuestionParamTable ;
end objects_test;
/so then I can use:
select * from table(objects_test.params2rows2('q_id','q_f_id','1~TEST1~2~TEST2'));to produce the desired output.
As I would like to organize everything in one single package I was wondering if there's a way of using OBJECTS INSIDE A PACKAGE....
As for now I've modified my code to use michaels2 suggestion but with no luck as when I execute the
select * from table(objects_test.params2rows2('q_id','q_f_id','1~TEST1~2~TEST2')); I'm receiving a ORA-00902: invalid datatype;
Thank you for your precious help,

"Property value is not valid" when PropertyGridView tries to convert a string to a custom object type.

Hi,
I have a problem with an PropertyGrid enum property that uses a type converter.
In general it works, but when I double clicking or using the scoll wheel, an error message appears:
"Property value is not valid"
Details: "Object of type 'System.String' cannot be converted to type 'myCompany.myProject.CC_myCustomProperty."
I noticed that the CommitValue method (in PropertyGridView.cs) tries to convert a string value to a CC_myCustomProperty object.
Here is the code that causes the error (see line 33):
(Using the .net symbols from the PropertyGridView.cs file)
1
        internal bool CommitValue(GridEntry ipeCur, object value) {
2
3
            Debug.WriteLineIf(CompModSwitches.DebugGridView.TraceVerbose,  "PropertyGridView:CommitValue(" + (value==null ? "null" :value.ToString()) + ")");

5
            int propCount = ipeCur.ChildCount;
6
            bool capture = Edit.HookMouseDown;
7
            object originalValue = null;
8
9
            try {
10
                originalValue = ipeCur.PropertyValue;

                // the set happen.

            try {

                try {

                    SetFlag(FlagInPropertySet, true);
20
21
                    //if this propentry is enumerable, then once a value is selected from the editor,
22
                    //we'll want to close the drop down (like true/false).  Otherwise, if we're
23
                    //working with Anchor for ex., then we should be able to select different values
24
                    //from the editor, without having it close every time.
25
                    if (ipeCur != null &&
26
                        ipeCur.Enumerable) {
27
                           CloseDropDown();
28
29
30
                    try {

                        Edit.DisableMouseHook = true;
32

33
                        ipeCur.PropertyValue = value;
34
35
                    finally {
36
                        Edit.DisableMouseHook = false;
37
                        Edit.HookMouseDown = capture;
38
39
40
                catch (Exception ex) {
41
                    SetCommitError(ERROR_THROWN);
42
                    ShowInvalidMessage(ipeCur.PropertyLabel, value, ex);
43
                    return false;
44
I'm stuck.
I was wondering is there a way to work around this? Maybe extend the string converter class to accept this?
Thanks in advance,
Eric

Simple Question- WS & Custom object types

Hi all,
I'm sure I found some posts on this topic before but cannot seem to find them at the minute.
I know in Web Services it is possoble to pass user defined objects, as long as they implement Serializable. But is it that simple? do you not have to define mappings and the like in the configuration files?
Any pointers to suitable material would be appreciated. Many thanks
Kevin

Hi Kevin,
I too have noticed that there are many posts on TypeMapping of complex types (I think it is mostly because people are not - yet - well acquainted with Web Services). Look at the "advanced"-JAXRPC examples in the Web Services tutorial and see that you do not need to map much. In the case of DII it is limited to the input-parameters and the result-type.

Accessing fields of a custom object type

Hello,
this is for Oracle 11.2.0.4.0
I am trying to create and return an object inside a function and then access attributes of that object.
It works in that I get the expexted result in my query, but the object is created once again for each attribute that I am accessing:
CREATE OR REPLACE TYPE zzz_tp_type_test AS OBJECT (
col_a VARCHAR2(100 CHAR),
col_b VARCHAR2(100 CHAR),
col_c VARCHAR2(100 CHAR)
CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION zzz_f_type_test RETURN zzz_tp_type_test
IS
ret zzz_tp_type_test := zzz_tp_type_test('aa', 'bb', 'cc');
BEGIN
dbms_output.put_line('Running once...');
RETURN ret;
END;
SET serveroutput ON;
SELECT (A).col_a, (A).col_b, (A).col_c FROM (
    SELECT zzz_f_type_test A FROM dual
The result of the SELECT query is
(A).COL_A
(A).COL_B
(A).COL_C
aa
bb
cc
Running once...
Running once...
Running once...
I am not sure why this is happening, or how to prevent this. I would expect to call the function only once, and then access that one created instance for each attribute.
I am thinking it might have to do with the parentheses around "A", but that was the only way to get the query to execute - without them I got a syntax error.
What do I need to change for the DB to execute the function only once?
Thank you...

That's a good solution using a table type and table function. It can be simplified a bit, as shown below.

Updating custom data types

I've updated a custom data type and redeployed my component; however, I'm not seeing the update take. What do I need to do to see the update? Restart the server?
Thanks

Hi there,
you can use your own classes as service method argument or return type. But you should not forget to do a type mapping on both the service and client side.
I can tell you, how I am sending and receiving my own datatype called "FileBean" which is a simple JavaBean with getter() and setter() methods for the properties.
I'm using axis for deployment and tomcat as the web server, where my service runs on (currently only local but in future this will be remote).
Service class: "InstallationService.java"
Bean class: "FileBean.java"
Client class: "FileSaving.java"
My deploy.wsdd file has the following entry:
<beanMapping qname="myNS:FileBean"
xmlns:myNS="http://packageDelarationBackwards"
languageSpecificType="java:packageDeclaration.FileBean"/>
...The method header in my service:
public FileBean storeAttachments(FileBean file)The important part of my Client:
QName qnFileBean = new QName("http://packageDelcarationBackwards", "FileBean");
call = (Call) service.createCall();
call.setTargetEndpointAddress( new java.net.URL(endpointURL) );
call.setOperationName(new QName("InstallationService","storeAttachments"));
call.setReturnType(qnFileBean);
call.registerTypeMapping(
                        FileBean.class,
                        qnFileBean,
                        new BeanSerializerFactory(FileBean.class, qnFileBean),
                        new BeanDeserializerFactory(FileBean.class, qnFileBean));
....After deploying the service and starting the server I can send my "FileBean", work with it and give it back.
Hope this helped. If you need more information, just let me know.

Issue with RCDC for Custom "Department" object type

Hey Guys,
Maybe somebody can point out where the issue is with the RCDC. I have a custom object type called Department in FIM portal and wanted to create a simple interface for it so users can add and edit department fields.

Any advice is appreciated.

I don't know RCDCs well enough to debug it from the xml. One approach when I don't know something too well is to brute it. Copy one of the default RCDCs and make sure it's working then add the required attributes one by one checking that it works each
time. Once it's working with the added attributes remove all the ones you don't need. If that breaks it, go back to where it was working and remove them one by one.

Using Multiple Object Types in a FIM Managed Criteria Distribution Group

Is it possible to use multiple object types in a criteria based distribution group. So when building your criteria filter, "Select (object type) that match (all/any) of the following condiftions". Currently you can only choose 1 object type and
I want to be able to choose object type "user" and a custom object type I create for my contacts

You can create main condition as "any" and later add two sub-conditions - one that object in set "All People" and other sub-condition that object in set "All Contacts" or "All Groups".
