Updating preceding document in CIC0

Hi,
I need to change the status of preceding document to closed when I save the suceeding document. The FM crm_order_maintain is throwing the message object not in buffer when i try to update the status for predceding document.I am passing the coreect guid to it .
is there any other alternative to maintain the preceding document ?

Hi Gincy,
Did you find a way to do save the preceding document? I am having a similar issue.
Appreciate your response,

Opportunities with preceding documents

Hi,
for opportunities and activities we use the extractors 0CRM_OPPT_H and 0CRM_SALES_ACT_1 und update the documents in 2 different cubes. Both cubes contain among others the transaction number (0CRM_OBJ_ID), transaction type (0CRM_PRCTYP), user status (0CRM_USSTAT) and status profil (0CRM_STSMA).
Now we need to show in 1 report the opportunities with their preceding activities. In the opportunity cube we only have the GUID of the preceding documents, without transaction number or any further characteristics of the activities.
How can we show opportunities with their preceding documents in 1 report, both with transaction number, transaction type and status?
Thanks & regards
Doris

Check that the currencies are set on both the header and products. There is a note about this in the R18 notes.

Error on update of document stored in content server

Error on update of document stored in content server
On a regular basis (but not reproducible) we find that after updating a document, it is deleted from content server (or at least it cannot be retrieved). These problems have only been experienced since we switched to using content server as our storage repository, as opposed to R/3.
We create and maintain documents through a bespoke transaction, which calls standard SAP functions BDS_BUSINESSDOCUMENT_CREA_TAB and cl_bds_document_set=>update_with_table.
Whilst the errored documents are listed in the BDS via transaction OAOR (business document navigator), an error is received when you try to display it (in our case an MS-Word error indicating file/pathname invalid).
We are satisfied that file/pathname are valid and find that this occurs occasionally when a document has been updated. It appears that the document has been deleted.
This bespoke transaction has been running successfully for almost two years, and these problems have only been experienced after switching to content server as a storage repository (as opposed to R3 previously). Has anyone else experienced these problems?
We are running :
R/3 Enterprise 620,
SAP HTTP Content Server Version 6.30 Patch 13
SAPDB version 7.3.0.54

Hi Sonny,
To check the connectivity between your content server and Workstation and SAP Server.
Pls goto the command prompt of your workstation
give the command like this example.
C:\>Ping 117.123.45.201
you will get the reply from the server. here 117.123.45.201 is your content server IP.
If you are getting the reply then it means that your contentserver and workstation are connected propely.
Like that pls check the connectivity between your systems.
Pls check the hosts file of your systems also.
If the hosts file entry is not maintained, you can check-out file from content server but you cannot check-in the original.
Pls let me know what kind of error Message you are getting?
From where you are trying to check-in the Original? From the DIR screen or from CAD Desktop screen?

How to update many documents in one go using portal permissions

Hello,
I have two users in the portal with different permissions on a folder:
rct2774: Total control
rct3343: Read
So, connected to the portal, rct3343 can´t upload (or erase) any document.
Now, I´ve followed these instructions to update many documents in one go (found in "how to upload a folder containg HTML files in a KM folder" topic 22 - jun - 2006)
"You can use the WebDaV.
1. Get the WebDav path of your KM folder by going to details->properties->Access Links
2. Copy the url for the WebDav
3. Go to your desktop. Right Click on My Network Places.
click on open.
4. Click on add a network place.
5. Click on "Choose another network location"
6. Paste your copied url and click on next.
7. Enter your portal userid and password. Now drag and drop your files from desktop. "
But, updating this way both users (rct2774 and rct3343) can update, download and erase any document that belongs to that location.
Do you know a way to update many documents in one go respecting or keeping the portal permissions?
Thanks in advance.
Best Regards,
Esteban

Hi Marc,
First of all, thaks for your prompt reply. I´m new in these themes and any help is wellcome.
We are doing many tests now, so we´re using the server portal as repository in itself. It´s quite strange because the permissions work at the portal correctly but not by the other way.
Should I download the portal drive to the client PC for mantain the portal permissions?
Thank you!

Updating a document with category metadata using updateDocument(): error!

I have studied the sample code and the API docs, and I feel pretty sure I am coding it according to the docs, but I cannot successfully update a document with category metadata. I always get a MetaDataSchemaInvalid exception.
My process goes like this:
1. Upload a new file, creating a new document publicobject.
2. Create a CATEGORY_DEFINITION with all the metadata name/value pairs I wish to write.
3. Call FileManager.updateDocument() with this CATEGORY_DEFINITION.
My process differs from the docs in that I am first uploading the document, and then adding the metadata as a second step. I want to get it working this way to make my system more modular. I do not want to make my upload method dependent upon metadata attributes, and vice versa.
Step 1 is working fine. The document is being uploaded to the right folder. Good to go.
Step 3 is where I get the error. If the error is my fault, then it must be a result of what I do in step 2. The structure of my CATEGORY_DEFINITION must be messed up.
Here is my code for creating the CATEGORY_DEFINITION. The Document class is my own entity that encapsulates the binary data for a document, as well as the metadata attributes that are to be assigned to the document once it is uploaded into Content Services. We don't need to worry about where the data comes from. Just assume the raw data is correct.
public NamedValue[] newCategoryAttributeDefinition(Document document, String categoryDisplayName) throws WebserviceClientException {
/* Get the category attribute name-value pairs as a 2-D array. */
Map metadataMap = document.getMetadataParser().getAttributeNameMapping();
List categoryDefinitionAttributeList = new ArrayList();
for(Iterator i = metadataMap.entrySet().iterator(); i.hasNext();) {
Map.Entry entry = (Map.Entry)i.next();
String name = "CUSTOM_" + (String)entry.getKey();
Object value = entry.getValue();
if(value != null) {
categoryDefinitionAttributeList.add(new Object[] { name, value });
Object[][] categoryDefinitionAttributeArray = new Object[categoryDefinitionAttributeList.size()][];
int index = 0;
for(Iterator i = categoryDefinitionAttributeList.iterator(); i.hasNext();) {
Object[] value = (Object[])i.next();
categoryDefinitionAttributeArray[index++] = value;
/* Create the NamedValue tree that describes this category's attribute values. */
Long categoryId = new Long(getCategoryClassId(categoryDisplayName));
NamedValue[] categoryAttributeDefinition = WebserviceUtils.newNamedValueArray(new Object[][] {
{ Options.CATEGORY_ID, categoryId },
{ Options.CATEGORY_DEFINITION_ATTRIBUTES, WebserviceUtils.newNamedValueArray(categoryDefinitionAttributeArray) }
NamedValue[] categoryDefinition = WebserviceUtils.newNamedValueArray(Options.CATEGORY_DEFINITION, categoryAttributeDefinition);
return categoryDefinition;
And below is the resulting CATEGORY_DEFINITION, as seen in a jdb debugger.
-- The OPT.CATEGORY_ID value is equal to the ID column in ODMV_SCHEMACATEGORY, otherwise known as the category class id.
-- My OPT.CATEGORY_DEFINITION_ATTRIBUTES tree for this document has the 4 attributes that I want to set. The category has more than these 4 attributes; I am not populating every attribute. None of the attributes are required, and all are editable. I don't need to include every attribute in my CATEGORY_DEFINITION, even if the values are null, do I? Also, all the attribute names start with "CUSTOM_", which I believe is necessary - right?
-- I am setting only the OPT.CATEGORY_ID and OPT.CATEGORY_DEFINITION_ATTRIBUTES. Am I missing some other required attribute?

1 – For an existing document, how do I determine what category instances have been applied to it and their attribute values
FdkSession session = …;
// Consider we have an existing item myDoc of type document
Item myDoc = …;
CommonManager cm = Managers.getCommonManager(session);
AttributeRequest[] requestedAttributes = new AttributeRequest[]
// The Categories associated with this Document, if any
new AttributeRequest(Attributes.CATEGORIES,
// sub attributerequest
new AttributeRequest[] {
    // the actual attributes name/values for the category instance – returns a namedvalue array
    new AttributeRequest(Attributes.CUSTOM_ALL,null),
    // the actual category class for the category instance – returns an item
    new AttributeRequest(Attributes.CATEGORY_CLASS_OBJECT,null)
myDoc = cm.getItem(myDoc.getId(), requestedAttributes);
log(myDoc); /* output could look like:
(Item) 14385 DOCUMENT sample3.doc
requested attributes ...
CATEGORIES (Item[])=
(Item) 14387 CATEGORY
requested attributes ...
CUSTOM_ALL (NamedValue[])=
CUSTOM_14352=true (Boolean)
CUSTOM_14353=Internal Only Pending Review (String)
CATEGORY_CLASS_OBJECT (Item)=
(Item) 14354 CATEGORY_CLASS 5044-14351
This means, that for document sample3.doc, we have 1 instance of a category object applied to it.
The category object instance has id 14387. The instance is of a category class object type 14354. The instance has two attributes with internal names CUSTOM_14352, and CUSTOM_15353. The values of these attributes are of type Boolean and String respectively.
2 - How do I update an attribute value of an existing category instance applied to an item
FdkSession session = …;

// use the internal attribute name for all attributes
new NamedValue("CUSTOM_14352", Boolean.FALSE),
new NamedValue("CUSTOM_14352", "Company Confidential")
NamedValue[] categoryDef = new NamedValue[] {
// the category instance that we are updating
new NamedValue(Options.UPDATE_CATEGORY_ID,new Long(14387)),
// the updated values of the category instance
new NamedValue(Options.CATEGORY_DEFINITION_ATTRIBUTES, categoryInstanceAttributes)
NamedValue[] documentDef = new NamedValue[] {
new NamedValue(Options.CATEGORY_DEFINITION, categoryDef)
requestedAttributes = ...
myDoc = fm.updateDocument(myDoc.getId(),documentDef,requestedAttributes) ;
3 – For a document item X, what is the associated category configuration which could include
a) what are the category objects I can apply on it (either explicitly restricted by way of ALLOWED_CATEGORIES on the folder configuration, or any site/domain category by way of ALLOW_ALL_CATEGORIES)
b) is there any attribute overrides
c) is there any enforced categories
FdkSession session = …;
// Consider we have an existing item myDoc of type document
Item myDoc = …;
CommonManager cm = Managers.getCommonManager(session);

    // are there any attribute overrides on category object attributes for this category config?
    new AttributeRequest(Attributes.ATTRIBUTE_OVERRIDES,overrideAttributes)
log(cm.getItem(myDoc.getId(), requestedAttributes); /*
If ALLOW_ALL_CATEGORIES is set to true, any category in the domain can be utilized that is not abstract. To determine these, the domain item has a property CATEGORY_CLASSES that returns all category objects in the domain. It also has a property ROOT_CATEGORY_CLASSES which returns just the top level categories (those that have no custom category superclass). You would create a sub AttributeRequest[] checking for CLASS_ABSTRACT when requesting the appropriate categories attribute from the domain.
If ALLOW_ALL_CATEGORIES is set to false, the applicable categories objects that can be utilized on items contained in the folder is determined by the items contained in the ALLOWED_CATEGORIES attribute of the category configuration.
Finally, the REQUIRED_CATEGORIES attribute list the category items that must be applied to all new items added to the folder.

Cannot complete document due to status of preceding document

Hi everyone,
We encounter the following problem;
We have a grantor application and from there we create a grantor agreement via the copy control settings in customizing.
Both transaction types have their own status profile (user status).
Now, when we have created the agreement (as follow up document), we are missing some of the user statussses, for example 'CANCEL'.
This is simply not available to select.
Investigation turns out that this is due to the fact that the preceding document (grantor application) is not yet completed. After we manually change the status of the application to 'Completed', then in the agreement we can select the missing user status.
How can we fix this? It is not a workable solution to first create the follow up document, then go back to the preceding document to change the status of that document and then go back again to the follow up document and start processing that one.
I was told that it should be possible with normal customizing to make sure that the follow up document is "leading" and will not be affected by any status of the preceding document.
Another option would be to use some function modules and badi's to make sure that the status of the preceding document is automatically set to completed during the copy control.
But to be honest, we would prefer not to enhance any FM's and/or badi's but to use standard customizing.
Does anybody have some ideas how to solve this.
Thank you very much for your help.
Regards,
Pieter

System changes status of preceding document

Hello *,
within our quotation process we're faced to a not expected and not required behaviour.
process:
1. Create quotation with item lines
2. Press button "more" --> "Send all Items"
3. Create a follow-up quotation
4. Choose to be copied items
5. Save the follow-up
==> The system sets the status E0005 "transferred to R/3" with systemstatus RELE automatically for the preceding document. Of course this transaction is distributed to the ECC what is not required.
How to avoid this step?
There is no entry for "Send all items" in column transaction to control a system status within status customizing.
We do not use a copy routine for follow-up generation and no BADIs are implemented. The event trace did not give any usable results.
How to avoid the automatically document transfer from CRM to ECC by not requested status change during follow-up creation in quotation process?
Kind regards
Thomas

Hi Thomas,
I am also facing the same issue. I am also looking for the solution. will let you know if any success.

Any upload programe for mass update of documents

hi
i just want to know whther there is a process for mass update of documents .....like LSMW .....
pls suggest me
Reagards
s

Hi Surya,
Following are the step to upload batch document in LSMW:
Create the Project, Subproject and Object in the LSMW Transaction (press F8)
1) Maintain Object Attributes (click on Batch input recording) for ex: Do the recording to create DIR .
Create recording (t code CV01N
It will direct us to T code CV01N crate DIR attaché the document then save it.
2) Maintain Source Structures: from Object overview List
For easy reference copy the source file to Excel sheet and tabulate it has horizontal format then copy that in .txt .Create source structure save and go back.
3) Maintain Source Fields:
Maintain table (for ex: field name: DOKAR, type (should be) :C and length: 3) save it and go back.
4) Maintain Structure Relations : create relationship and go back.
5) Maintain Field Mapping and Conversion Rules

solved myself

Pages is updating my documents and I can't open them anymore... Any suggestions to fix the problem?

The app is updating 97 documents, I can't open them and it's been updating for more than 2 hours. I really need these documents, how can I fix the problem?

Click on the '''Tools''' menu in '''Firefox''' and then click on '''Downloads'''.
This will bring up the "Downloads" window.
It should list all of your downloads. You can open each download by double-clicking on it.
If you still can't open the downloads by double-clicking, try the following:
In Firefox, click on '''Tools''' and then '''Options'''
Click the '''General''' tab to find out where your Downloads are going to. It should be listed in the '''Downloads''' section. You might need to click on the '''Browse''' button to find out exactly where they are going.
Once you know where the downloads are going to, you can go directly to that location and open them from there.
Hope this helps.

Error: Preceding document required for the invoice is not available

Dear SRM Experts,
We are on SRM7.0 with SAP 4.6 C as backend SAP R/3 system (Classic Deployment).
When we try to create an invoice in SRM wrt a PO ( with item category B ... created from a limit SC with invoice only option), we get an error :
Line 1: Preceding document required for the invoice is not available
We are not sure ..why this error is coming and what preceding document system is checking ?
As the PO is with item category B.. the GR is not required
Any inputs will be highly appreciated..
Thanks and Regards,
Ram

Hi!
This error usually comes up when the PO has the flag GR_BASEDIV set. Please check your PO and verify if it is flagged.
Best regards,
Christian Zeuch

Auto-Update Open Documents?

I am having a few problems with a recently installed version of Photoshop CS4.
Before posting, I installed the newest Aug 21 drivers for the built in NVIDIA GeForce 6200 SE Turbo Cache card running on a Windows XP machine.
Symptoms:
1: When opening a file for the first time, all "open" commands are grayed out in the File drop down menu. I can do a Control-O to open or Control-N to create a new document and after doing so, the menu items are available to me.
2: After applying an adjustment layer, such as a Curves adjustment layer, I can adjust the curve and the current image changes correctly. However, if I apply a gradient to the layer mask, it will not display the gradient in the gradient icon until I touch one of the S curve points. If I make a different gradient, I have the same issue.
3: If were to delete the adjustment layer by dragging it to the trash, the current image does not update and I have to click one time on the image to make it display correctly.
There may be other problems, but these are plenty to deal with right now.
I tried going to the preferences and turning off OpenGL and ended up with the same problems.
I tried checking Auto-Update Open Documents and got the same results whether it is on or off.
I am not sure what Auto-Update Open Documents does, but it sounds like the correct issue.
Any help would be appreciated. CS3 works fine on this system.

Hello Mylenium
You probably have the correct answer. I've run CS2 and CS3 on this system and it has done an okay job, though I know it is showing its age now. I have a Vista laptop and don't care for it that much, so I haven't been too excited to buy a new desktop with that operating system on it. And, of course, I hate to buy an expensive video card and power supply to run this XP machine.
With Windows 7 on the horizon, I may just use CS3 a while longer and see how the new system works before upgrading to a new computer. Either way, I have a $1500 software package here that isn't getting much use.

5.1 updated iCloud documents.

5.1 updated iCloud documents. Now I can not edit them until I update my apps. Why would the iCloud files change without my knowledge. I found myself without wifi and the update surprised me. I was prevented from working.
Anyone else bitten by his "feature?"

Not bitten, but noticed it.
The older Pages 5 and 5.01 wouldn't even open their own templates.
Just part of the on-going trainwreck that is Pages 5.

TS3991 status never updates from waiting (rMBP never seems to update any documents in the cloud)

I have 2 macs at home; the imac (latest 10.8.2) works fine, but my rMBP will not update pages documents in the cloud. anything that is opened/modified will show a dotted outline cloud and will say that it's pending the update, but it never happens. Any thoughts?
