Updating Trsp. Duration

Dear all,
I want to update /SAPAPO/TRM-DURAT in transaction /SAPAPO/SCC_TL5 (in batch mode).
I execute this tx with Source Transp Zone and Destination Trans. Zone, and must update the field /SAPAPO/TRM-DURAT for one of the Means of Transport there.
I'm trying BAPI_TRLSRVAPS_SAVEMULTI but it ends with an error message : "Time-based validities overlap".
Look at this:

Hi Liliana,
Please check the Transportation lanes you are uploading/editing. It appears you had already uploaded a lane with some Validity. While the same is being uploaded again with a different validity.
You have to check the Existing TLanes and the ones you are trying to upload or any duplication. Omit the duplicate ones and try again...

BAPI for updating Maintain Duration in Transportation and Delivery scheduling

Hi all,
Iam looking for a BAPI to update the Duration Times in Transportation and Delivery scheduling. I reluctant to use recording on SM30 Table maintenance T code and use it in LSMW. Is there a BAPI or Standard i/p Program to load these details. I have more than 200000 records to input.
A list of all BAPI's in Transportation Management module would be great as well.
Regards,
Avi

Hi,
@praveen: I tried the solution provided by you and it worked for me in this context. But it seems this BADI gets triggered every time the delivery is getting saved. So for my test purposes, I'm triggering this BADI in a program, but in actual scenario, the BADI would be called on every sy-ucomm = 'SICH_T' i.e. SAVE. hence, I can't separate my piece of code using this condition.
I'm trying to call my FM(update module in collective run mode) inside this BADI in backgrnd task as a separate unit but this doesn't seem to work.
Any more suggestions?
Thanks

Updating OCLG.Duration in DI Server

I'm trying to add/update an activity using the DI Server. The XML request is generated properly (no schema errors) and sent to the DI Server. In the XML, I have (among other things):
<Recontact>20070802</Recontact>
<StartTime>1800</StartTime>
<EndDueDate>20070803</EndDueDate>
<EndTime>1815</EndTime>
However, I get an error response from the DI Server saying Duration does not match start/end time [OCLG.Duration].
According to the DI Documentation,
The duration value specifies the number of minutes, hours, or days according to the DurationType.
The duration value must be equal or greater than 0.
In case the start time (days + hours) and end time (days + hours) are specified, then the system recalculates the duration time.
Now - the problem is if I specify the <StartDate></StartDate> tag in my source XML, I get an invalid schema error. If I use <Recontact>, I get the Duration not defined error.
Is there any way around this without actually setting the duration (and get SAP to calculate it, like it says in TFM)?
Thanks

After OS Update Call Duration Is Missing

After updating my 8330 to the most recent version, first thing I noticed was the call timer/duration
is now missing. Has anyone else had this happen, and is there a fix?
Also, call log doesnt show info for each call. Says all calls were 4:12 min. in duration.
I havent seen anyone else mention this problem in the forums that I know of.
Please help
Thanks.

i know its 3+ years later but this just happened to me. Have you figured it out? I cant at all ! very annoying!

Updating Absence Duration

The user enters the holiday days in the holiday calander after entering the absence days and the holidays are not being deducted from the already entered absence days field unless we re-enter the absence start and end date and save.
How can we acheive this ?? Please advice
Thanks
Siva

Thanks much Gaurav. I was able to work it out by creating work schedule itself. I reckon I missed out selecting the schedule pattern. We need to ensure that after creating schedule the pattern needs to be selected and launched. After a while it gets effected in the system. Just in case if others are trying to implement work schedule for working days between Saturday to Wednesday following are the step involved. I have created two schedule pattern with day start as 1 and day stop as 4; and another pattern with day start as 7 and day stop as 7. It works like charm....:)

Best way to update a PRA file with changes to P6 schedule?

Hello,
I've spent some time looking at user manuals and video tutorials to try and become familiar with how to use Primavera Risk Analysis. I come from an @RISK user background so there were some concepts that were a little different between the two applications.
One thing of particular interest to my company is how to use PRA with a constantly evolving and updating P6 project schedule? I know there are ways to import/export user defined fields to store the min/most likely/max values for each task. I also know that the risk register can be imported/exported from Excel. My concern can perhaps be demonstrated by this example (based on my current understanding of PRA and P6)
1. Start PRA and import a copy of a P6 schedule. This is not a "live" link but rather a copy made for use with PRA.
2. Set-up the risk register, link to project tasks. Set-up activity min/most likely/max, assign to a distribution (triangle)
3. Run Monte Carlo simulations, review results etc.
4. At this point I could export the min/most likely/max durations back to P6 as user defined fields and I could update the duration in P6 with the most likely. I'm not sure what would happen with risk activities that created new project activities but I assume they would import as new tasks to P6?
After going through steps 1-4, the P6 schedule might continue to evolve further with new tasks, new dependencies, new durations, etc. At some point, I may be asked again to perform another risk analysis on the project and here is where my question comes in: Do I have to start all over and import everything into a new PRA? I know that I could get the min/max most likely from P6 user defined fields, I know I could import the risk register from Excel but are there other things that I would lose by having to start over (for example, links between risks in the risk register and the tasks in the P6 schedule?) Or... is there a way to re-use an existing PRA file and update the P6 schedule while preserving the info (like risk register, etc.)?
Thank you for your reply

This method works but is there an easier (faster) way to update another table with new data only?

Almost anything would be better than that slow-by-slow loop processing.
You don't need a procedure you should just use MERGE for that. See the examples in the MERGE section of the SQL Language doc
http://docs.oracle.com/cd/B28359_01/server.111/b28286/statements_9016.htm
MERGE INTO bonuses D
 USING (SELECT employee_id, salary, department_id FROM employees
 WHERE department_id = 80) S
 ON (D.employee_id = S.employee_id)
 WHEN MATCHED THEN UPDATE SET D.bonus = D.bonus + S.salary*.01
 DELETE WHERE (S.salary > 8000)
 WHEN NOT MATCHED THEN INSERT (D.employee_id, D.bonus)
 VALUES (S.employee_id, S.salary*.01)
 WHERE (S.salary <= 8000);

Updating Start, Finish % Complete from excel file to Ms Project

Hi - This is my first post on this forum which i see is a great way to share knowledge.
I’m having a schedule which has around 3000 lines with resources names and a Responsible Person ( where individual resources
report to) updated on the schedule.
I need to work out a good way to get schedule updates from different parties in a efficient way.
My thoughts are to make a solution to generate the tasks which needs to be updated based on the status date and generate a individual excel files for each responsible person and get
their updates back in excel and update the dates and % complete back to the MS Project schedule.<o:p></o:p>
The steps
a) create a filter to list all the tasks which need to be updated based status date ( tasks which are in progress, tasks in the past which have not started yet,
tasks in the past which have finished etc) grouped as per responsible person and create separate excel files for each responsible person.
b) the excel file will contain ( UID, Task name, start date, finish date, %complete, resource name, responsible person)
c) I would like to email these excel files to each responsible person and get their updates for (start date, finish date, %complete)
d) Create a VBA macro to let the user to select the updated excel file and update the data back to MS Project file.
Conditions while updating
a)
Read the Excel file from Top to bottom and find the correct record based on the UID and update the "duration" in order to change dates as below
b)
IF Task has started ( the excel file contains % complete and a new start date later than the MS Project start date)
Update MS Project file ( Actual Start date and % Complete)
c)
IF Task has started as Scheduled ( the excel file contain % complete and the excel file start date is equal to MS Project start date)
 Update MS Project file ( Actual Start date and % Complete)
d)
IF Task has started and finished as Scheduled ( The excel file start and finish dates are equal to MS Project file but excel file % complete is now 100%)
Update MS Project File ( Actual Start, Actual Finish and Update % Complete 100%)
e)
If Start date of the task has been rescheduled to a future date ( If Excel file start date is > that Ms project start date and excel file % complete is 0)
Update the MS Project file and inset a lag to match the excel file start date.
I would like to know whether this would be a feasible solutions and if some of you have implemented this kind of thing please share some code snippets.
Thanks a lot

Hi John, I've managed to progress further on the code and Split the records as per supervisor and create excel file and email to supervisor.
However I ran into 2 problems
1) The code works some time without any error and some times it stalls. I have managed to narrow it down to the sorting code block on the
ExportTaskstobeUpdated mehod where it Selects the Active work book which has all the data based on the filter and Sorts according to Supervisor Name+ Resource Name
I have made the error code Bold and Italic
The error I'm getting is
Run-time error '1004'
Method'Range' of object'_Global' failed
2) Currently I'm creating the Master Excel file which is generated by the
ExportTaskstobeUpdated method and splitting them and creating all the splits + the Master excel file to a hard coded locationwhich is C:GESProjectEmail folder
When Saving it Prompts to Over wright the existing files , I don't need any prompts coming out for the user.
I've tried using the Application.DisplayAlearts=False but it does not work for me.
In order to overcome this , I created a routine to delete the files after the files have been emailed/Saved as draft but that too fails to delete the original Master excel file.
Is there a way to generate the excel files on the fly and without saving can I attach it to the email ?
Or would like to know your thoughts on a better way to handle this.

Updating HLineTo dynamically

Hi,
in this small scrolling text example, the text can be updated dynamically.
The problem is that for longer text the start point need to adjusted further to the right and the endpoint further to the left.
Anyone knows how to adjust the code to fix this problem?
Thanks!

This is more of a complete rewrite than an adjustment, but perhaps you can use some of the concepts in the rewrite and apply them to your project.

SNP-- LSMW-- Transportation Lane

Hi,
When we are doing LSMW for Transporation Lane creation in APO SNP, system unable to recongize the Pop-Up screen, due to that its not updating record.
It showing all values after converted data, but, when system unable to feed the value to populate the sub screen.
Kindly guide to overcome this problem.
Regards,
Venkat

Hi Venkat,
LSMW does not recognize pop up, to avoid the pop-up you need to check the flags fix trsp duration and fix trsp distance and enter a value for both (dummy value in case you dont require any of these fields), the pop-up generate proposal will not appear.
But I think creating transportation lane using BAPI is a better and faster option in case you have got large number of lanes.
Thanks,
Sanjog

Help to improve the performance of a procedure.

Hello everybody,
First to introduce myself. My name is Ivan and I recently started learning SQL and PL/SQL. So don't go hard on me. :)
Now let's jump to the problem. What we have there is a table (big one, but we'll need only a few fields) with some information about calls. It is called table1. There is also another one, absolutely the same structure, which is empty and we have to transfer the records from the first one.
The shorter calls (less than 30 minutes) have segmentID = 'C1'.
The longer calls (more than 30 minutes) are recorded as more than one record (1 for every 30 minutes). The first record (first 30 minutes of the call) has segmentID = 'C21'. It is the first so we have only one of these for every different call. Then we have the next (middle) parts of the call, which have segmentID = 'C22'. We can have more than 1 middle part and again the maximum minutes in each is 30 minutes. Then we have the last part (again max 30 minutes) with segmentID = 'C23'. As with the first one we can have only one last part.
So far, so good. Now we need to insert these call records into the second table. The C1 are easy - one record = one call. But the partial ones we need to combine so they become one whole call. This means that we have to take one of the first parts (C21), find if there is a middle part (C22) with the same calling/called numbers and with 30 minutes difference in date/time, then search again if there is another C22 and so on. And last we have to search for the last part of the call (C23). In the course of these searches we sum the duration of each part so we can have the duration of the whole call at the end. Then we are ready to insert it in the new table as a single record, just with new duration.
But here comes the problem with my code... The table has A LOT of records and this solution, despite the fact that it works (at least in the tests I've made so far), it's REALLY slow.
As I said I'm new to PL/SQL and I know that this solution is really newbish, but I can't find another way of doing this.
So I decided to come here and ask you for some tips on how to improve the performance of this.
I think you are getting confused already, so I'm just going to put some comments in the code.
I know it's not a procedure as it stands now, but it will be once I create a better code. I don't think it matters for now.

It's my first post here so hope this is the right sub-forum.
I tried to explain everything as deep as possible (sorry if it's too long) and I kinda think that the code got somehow hard to read with all these comments. If you want I can remove them.
I know I'm still missing a lot of knowledge so every help is really appreciated.
Thank you very much in advance!

Thanks for the suggestion but the thing is that segmentID must stay the same for all. The data in this field is just to tell us if this is a record of complete call (C1) or a partial record of a call(C21, C22, C23). So in table2 as every record will be a complete call the segmentID must be C1 for all.Well that's not a problem. You just hard code 'C1' instead of applying the row number as I was doing:

Another thing is that, as I said above, the actual table has 120 fields. Do I have to list them all manually if I use something similar?If that's what you need, then yes you would have to list them. You only get data if you tell it you want it. ;)
Of course if you are taking the start_date_of_call, callingnumber and callednumber as the 'key' to the record, then you could join the results of the above back to the original table1 and pull out the rest of the columns that way...

SQL>Of course this is pulling back the additional columns for the record that matches the start_date_of_call for that calling/called number pair, so if the values differed from row to row within the calling/called number pair you may need to aggregate those (take the minimum/maximum etc. as required) as part of the first query. If the values are known to be the same across all records in the group then you can just pick them up from the join to the original table as I coded in the above example (only in my example the data was different across all rows).

How to get data from a DSO to another

Hi!
I have two DSO created:
DSO_1
DSO_2
DSO_2 contains values that I need to transfer over to DSO 1 without any direct connection through a transformation.
These are the field in DSO 1:
CALL_ID
REQ_ID
REQ_DURATION
These are the field in DSO 2:
REQ_ID
DURATION
When the REQ_ID are the same in both DSO's, i need the value in DURATION (DSO_2) to transfer over to the Infoonbject called "REQ_DURATION" (DSO_1).
Can anyone help me, please? Is this a "bad" way of doing ut (both DSO contains about 70000 records). Is it easier just to make a transformation from DSO_2 to DSO_1, and make a routine when transfering?

If you're putting together a slideshow, do not turn on the KB Effect for anything. Ever. I hate to say this, for I love this feature. It has enhanced many of my slides. However, it's a sorcerer's apprentice.
It causes nightmares once it's in your timeline. You can't update its durations, unless you delete the slide & start all over. I've found, oddly, that if a transition is connected, and you try to reduce the duration of the slide, after the transition is rendered, the slide, instead of having reduced duration, is actually increased by the amount of the reduction you wanted!
Beware of using KBE for any photo in your iPhoto imported album. Once you invoke KBE on any photo, it pollutes every photo you click on, thereafter, whether you turn it off or not. Karl Petersen posted a message last month, praising this polluting feature of KBE:
"The most important is that all of the Ken Burns settings, the KB checkbox, zoom, pan and duration are controlled by the LAST imported clip you made, or a previously-imported clip you clicked on. THAT's what sets the default setting for your next import(s). (A very nice feature, by the way, for it lets you apply the Ken Burns settings of one clip to the next photos you import. You don't have to reconfigure settings each time.)"
First, it's boring to an audience to have repetitious effects. Second, I don't know what he means by "import." iM4, in moving a photo from the Pane to the Viewer (timeline), says it's importing it, but I already imported it from iPhoto4. Third, I'm not so lazy as to resent having to reconfigure individual photos, if it means I have control over what I want to reconfigure & what I don't want to reconfigure.
Third, I wish Apple would realize users do have a brain: They don't need everything automated. There should be two buttons: KBE on for all, another KBE off for all. KBE off would allow the user to select which photos KBE is confined to. One thing I like about Microsoft is, it doesn't assume anything about the user. The user has choice & is always in control.
I'm really at the point of not invoking KBE for anything, anymore. It's causing too much frustration, & it's not worth the time trying to figure it out, especially once the photo is in the timeline.
BTW, what's the relationship between the Monitor, the Timeline, & the window in the upper right corner of the Photo Pane?

The conclusions you've reached about the Ken Burns Effect are so strange it makes me wonder if you've understood how it works. Unlike the Ken Burns Effect in iPhoto — which adds the effect on-the-fly as a sequence of photos is played — the Ken Burns Effect in iMovie affects how the photo is imported and rendered. iMovie renders video — creates a movie clip — based on your Ken Burns settings.
Remember, iMovie is all about creating video clips that play as part of a movie. iPhoto, on the other hand, has no movie. It simply displays a series of images. It never creates a movie until we export the slideshow to a QuickTime movie.
Changing the Ken Burns settings of a photo in iPhoto simply changes how that image is played in the iPhoto slideshow. Changing the Ken Burns settings of an iMovie clip, on the other hand, changes how it is (immediately) rendered into a new video clip.
You can't update its durations, unless you delete the slide & start all over
Of course you can change a duration. Click on the rendered clip in the Timeline, change the duration, and Update the clip.
Of course, if you've edited a previously-rendered clip — added a title or transition, for example — then it is no longer a KB clip. But if you remove the title or transition you can update the KB settings normally.
First, it's boring to an audience to have repetitious effects.
I never suggested you use the same KB effect on all your clips. I suggested that if you want to avoid having to reconfigure your Ken Burns settings before importing a photo, first click on a clip that already uses those KB settings. This saves time and considerable aggravation. I find this especially useful because the KB settings window is so clumsy (and buggy).
Second, I don't know what he means by "import." iM
Each time you add a photo from the iPhoto list to your iMovie project it is imported to the project. iMovie adds the photo to the project, then renders the video clip, if needed. (The imported photo is retained so you can Update the clip later, if you want.)
Third, I'm not so lazy as to resent having to reconfigure individual photos, if it means I have control over what I want to reconfigure & what I don't want to reconfigure.
Fine, iMovie lets you do that. There's nothing preventing you from configuring new Ken Burns settings for each photo. (My suggestion was to avoid having to do that unnecessarily.)
Third, I wish Apple would realize users do have a brain:
Apple DOES assume we have brains. And that we use them to learn how the program actually works, and why.
There should be two buttons: KBE on for all, another KBE off for all. KBE off would allow the user to select which photos KBE is confined to.
It's that point which makes me wonder if you've misunderstood something important. The Ken Burns settings we apply in iMovie do NOT control how the movie PLAYS in iMovie, at least not directly, like it does in iPhoto (and other slideshow software). The KB settings control how a clip is RENDERED when the photo is imported to iMovie. Once rendered, that clip is FIXED unless we re-render (Update) it. Changing its Ken Burns settings changes the clip ONLY if we re-render the clip.
Another way to think about it is that the Ken Burns Effect affects how a photo is imported. Once imported, it does not affect how it plays.
Once you invoke KBE on any photo, it pollutes every photo you click on, thereafter, whether you turn it off or not
There's no pollution of anything. For the reasons I mentioned earlier, the settings do NOT change anything about existing photos or clips until you Apply those settings, which (usually) causes iMovie to re-render the clip.
Try to re-think how Ken Burns works, where you assume iMovie is creating video, not just a series of images it plays in sequence. Those are two very different things.

Support Package long time

Hi guys,
I have an issue, when i apply any support package, for example SAPKE60026, taking longtime for execute in the phase MAIN IMPORT. This is a new installation ECC 6.0 SR3 Windows, Oracle 10g 10.2.0.1, the SPAM version is 35 and the Kernel patch level is 179. the SID is CPD. When the installation finished i run the command with the user cpdadm:
brconnect -u / -c -f stats -t all -o SAPSR3DB
and
brconnect -u / -c -f stats -t all -o SAPSR3
in the past i have a similar issue with MAXDB, in that opportunity we fix it whit update statistics (duration= 3hours) but in this case the update statistics run in one minute, or less, I dont work with Oracle, is new for me.
Thanks in advance
Alberto Gil

for starters, Oracle 10.2.0.1 is not supported, upgrade to 10.2.0.2 or 10.2,0.4
also install latest minipatch on top of your Oracle version.
adapt as per SAP note 830576.
you can also consider using DOWNTIME MINIMIZED option from SPAM, this way, the main import step can be run during online time and will minimized your offline downtime.

Custom Field not working

Hi,
I've made a project level custom field in PWA that takes "Total Slack" (in-built duration field) and based on a switch formula gives out 3 values viz. High, Medium, Low The field formula is as mentioned below:
Switch([Total Slack] <= -7, "High", [Total Slack] >= 0, "Low", [Total Slack] > -7 And [Total Slack] <= -1, "Medium")
The formula works very well and displays value as High for projects with Total slack less than -7. However, the formula is not working for Total Slack between -7 and -1 i.e. greater than - 7 and less than -1. The formula returns the value as "High"
only.
I've tried editing and publishing the project both from PWA as well as Proj Professional after updating task duration to calculate Total Slack.
This field is critical and used in many views. I am looking for a solution to resolve this issue. Any help in this regard would be appreciated.

The next step then would be to move away from the SWITCH statement and use a nested if statement, along the lines of....
iif ([Total
Slack]/[Minutes
Per
Day]<=-7,"High",iif([Total
Slack]/[Minutes
Per
Day]<=-1,"Medium","Low"))
Please note that I haven't validated this formula as I don't have MSProject on this PC, but it should be good enough to take you forward.

Delete a row in a table should affect in another table specified row

hello ,
my problem is let us assume i have two table related to each other as
dish       [d_id as primary key ,d_name,d_code,d_cost]
dish_outlet    [id as primary key,d_id as foreign key,outlet_name,amt]
i set foreign constraint in dish_outlet as foreign basetable as [dish_outlet] , foreign key as [d_id] , primary key table as [dish],primary key as [d_id].
now i want to do as delete a row where d_id is let us suppose '1' in dish table but also dish_outlet whose d_id will be '1' should also get deletd
my issue is on [DELETE FROM dish WHERE d_id ='1'] query a row is deleted from dish table only.
give a opinion or solution to my problem i need a query for vb.net and if foreign key setting is mistaken then need a procedure to solve it.
im using vb.net with sqlserver 2005 with sqlserver management studio

use ondelete cascade option
Please see below example for your reference
CREATE TABLE dbo.cource
courceID INT PRIMARY KEY,
Name VARCHAR(50)
CREATE TABLE dbo.student
studentID INT PRIMARY KEY,
name VARCHAR(50),
courceID INT REFERENCES cource(courceID)
ON DELETE SET NULL
ON UPDATE CASCADE,
Duration TIME(0)
INSERT INTO dbo.cource(courceID , Name)
VALUES (1,'c1'), (4,'c2')
INSERT INTO dbo.student (studentID,name, courceID, Duration)
VALUES (1, 's1' , 1, '00:07:08'),
(2, 's2', 1, '00:07:52'),
(3, 's3', 1, '00:07:56'),
(4, 's4', 4, '00:05:12')
DELETE FROM dbo.cource
WHERE courceID = 1
SELECT A.courceid, A.Name,
T.studentID, T.name, T.courceID, T.Duration
FROM dbo.cource A
RIGHT JOIN dbo.student T ON A.courceid = T.courceID
