Upgrading from RH7 to RH8: Problem with user-defined variables

Example:
Before upgrade: <uservariable name=Product_name1 x-showvalue x-value=MyProduct>MyProduct</uservariable>.
After upgrade: <?rh-udv_start name="Product_name1" ?>MyProduct<?rh-udv_end ?> .
Notice that there is now a space before the period. Any time my UDV is followed by another letter or punctuation, there is now an extra space. :-/ Does anybody know of a way to fix this besides using FAR to search and replace every possible combination of UDV + letter/punctuation?

Problems like that make me a whole lot happier that we upgraded from RHX5 where variables didn't exist! I think the best way forward IS to use a find and replace tool. Sorry.

Trouble opening project after upgrading from RH7 to RH8

We recently loaded a RH7 project into Source Control 3.1. All things seemed to be working well. Until last week I was the sole user of the program and editor on the project. Last week the IT department attempted to add a new user to the project, installing RH8. The new user profile attempted to open the project in RH8 but we have not been able to completely open the project. This was done before upgrading my PC from RH7 to RH8.
We were unable to open the project (and converting) in the new profile, however when viewing the project in Source Control, it showed all the files were checked out exclusively to the new profile. We were able to utilize the 'check in' function in SC as Admin users and checked in all the files.
My PC was then upgraded to RH8 and I am attempting to open the project. I received the Upgrade project dialog box. (I select 'Upgrade). I then recieve a warning 'Your project file, C:\....cpd, is corrupt and cannot be opened. Try deleting this file and reopening the project."
I did this and tried to open the project. I got as far as the status bar showing the files/project was being loaded. After several minutes the screen goes all white and the Task Manager shows that it is not responding.
Any suggestions for this novice?
thanks!

Find and Replace with User Defined Variable

I am in the process of converting some legacy help content to RoboHelp HTML 9 in order to give it some more features and customization for our clients. I have been taking advantage of User Defined Variables in order to customize the content. Up to this point I have been manually going through each topic and replacing each instance of a word ("statements" for example) with a user defined variable saying the same thing but with the possibility of being changed later should the customer want to. Though we only have about 200 topics, this is still relatively time-consuming and I would like to automate this as much as possible.
Is there any way to find and replace content with a User Defined Variable?

Hi there
If you open the Script Explorer pod I believe one of the sample scripts is a "UDV Converter" script. Perhaps you could give that a try.
Cheers... Rick

Upgrade From CS5 To CS6 Problems With Flash Graphics?

Hi People.
I upgraded from Adobe CS5 to CS6. I originally built a printable book and developed an interactive version in InDesign CS5, which I finally exported to Flash. For the printed version I used Adobe illustrator to create the book images and for the interactive version I converted the images into SWF.
The upgrade from Adobe CS5 to CS6 went well for the InDesign printed version of the book and I exported the new CS6 version of the printed book to PDF. However when I opened the old InDesign CS5 interactive version of the book in InDesign CS6 I was missing the links for the images.
When I tried to relink the images I was told `Cannot place this file. No filter found for requested operation:.
Please please help me because I am 2000 images in the new CS6 interactive version and short of going back and replacing each one individually, I am at a loss.
Thanks.

Steve,
Thanks...
Yes I can place the old SWF file into a new CS6 document and that works well, but I`m talking about 3 books of a total of nearly 10,00 images, which is a lot of time of replacing old for new,
Maybe I`ll stick with the interactive books staying in CS5 because I can`t see any material benefit of upgrading them to CS6, unless they were to be EPuped from their present CD Rom format?
However I do think it is a dreadfull oversight of Adobe not to stop me be penalized in a large slice of my profession, interactive second language book production, for the good intent of upgrading my CS Master Suite,
Take Care.

Problems with User Defines Mapping Objects - Dynamic Configuration

We have a mapping object that takes data passed in from R3 and does an HTTP Post to another system using a URL and file name that is passed from the header record. We had a consultant set this up for us last year and in creating the new one we just pretty much copied what he did. The problem is, it is not working for us. We have the url and file name, we pass it to the user defined code that is supposed to pass it to the url and file name in the configuration. The java code looks like this:
public String getPcurlOut(String pcurl,Container container){
String ourSourceFileName = "START";
DynamicConfiguration conf = (DynamicConfiguration) container.getTransformationParameters().get(StreamTransformationConstants.DYNAMIC_CONFIGURATION);
if (conf != null) {
DynamicConfigurationKey key = DynamicConfigurationKey.create("http://sap.com/xi/XI/System/File","Directory");
conf.put(key, pcurl + ".xml");
ourSourceFileName = conf.get(key);
} else {
ourSourceFileName = "conf == null";
Basically we want to pass a url and file name to our communication channel based on values that come from our file in R3
It is almost exactly like the one that works. Can anyone help with this?
Thanks
Mike

Hi Michael
Basically we want to pass a url and file name to our communication channel based on values that come from our file in R3
--> This means you have file as a sender adapter.
Check adapter specific message properties in sender adapter.
Please refer this blog , it is really worth.
/people/michal.krawczyk2/blog/2005/11/10/xi-the-same-filename-from-a-sender-to-a-receiver-file-adapter--sp14
Also
DynamicConfigurationKey key = DynamicConfigurationKey.create("http://sap.com/xi/XI/System/File","Directory")
Try writing this as
DynamicConfigurationKey key = DynamicConfigurationKey.create("http://sap.com/xi/XI/System/File","FileName")

 I have a problem with the selection screen selections. My requirement is that , User when he selects a check box on the main selection screen ( which is 1000) then at the at-selection event, another screen (whose number is 2000) will be called and it has some parameters to enter values. My problem is that how to get the values from this second screen and use them in the in my program. There is an execute button on the second selection screen and when i click that, nothing is happening.
 Can anybody suggest me how to get the values from this screen which we called, and entered values in that screen. How to use these values and is there any way that we can do this.
Thanks in advance for helping me out.

Problems with user-defined update-process

Hi.
I have a small problem in the right syntax in an user-defined updated process.
The process is called by a button on the page and should update a record in a table.
BEGIN
UPDATE wam_mod_allocation SET
alloc_assessment = V('P2120_ASSESSMENT'),
last_update_date = LOCALTIMESTAMP,
last_update_staff = V('APP_USER')
WHERE username = V('P2120_USERNAME')
AND module_id = V('P2120_MODULE_ID')
END;
This is the code of the process. The line with the problem is marked bold. P2120_USERNAME is a text field in the page and contains the username to be updated.
The problem is, that the comparison doesn't work. the value "smith" is available in the table and is the same as in the text field. (both in lower case).
If I replace the part V('P2120_USERNAME') with 'smith' (with single quotes), the update statement works properly.
How do I have to compare the username with the item value that it works properly?

1. Stephan
2 + 3 Well. I enclosed both tags in the TRIM-Operator and it works. First, I thought, a whitespace caused the problems. To determine which value contains the whitespaces I removed the trim-tags on both sides. It works.
It is quite funny, because,if I remove both tags, it works too? Well. Yesterday it didnt.
To be on the safe side, I will include the trim-tags.
Thanks very much.

ALV view : Problem with user defined views

Dear Experts,
We are facing a problem pertaining to user defined views for a ALV table that we have in SAP eRecruiting application in webdynpro ABAP. The problem is as follows.
There is a candidate application ABC & only ONE person can edit this at a time.In this application ABC there is a ALV table.
If the user clicks on this application & navigates to the ALV,this ABC application is in normal/edit mode(no one else has opened this ). So, the user can make changes in ABC. In the ALV, he can click on the 'settings 'button and save the STANDARD view as his own user defined view(by adding or removing columns).
If the user opens the application ABC in display mode(implying that someone else has alraedy opened ABC for editing), when i navigate to the same ALV,the user CANNOT see the views which were saved in the edit mode.Only the standard view is displayed. The user however has the option to again freshly save a view.
The views created by a user for this ALV should be seen irrespective of the application being opened in normal or display mode.
To add to the confusion, this problem is occuring only in some systems & not in others. There is atleast one system where the views are displayed correctly to the user.
On debugging, the table wdy_conf_user has config ids as different where the user views are stored separately for display & edit mode.
In systems where the user views are displayed correctly, the config id is one & the same ensuring that the user can see all his views irrespective of the mode of the application.
Any thoughts on how we can rectify this?
sorry for the long & tedious explanation
Thanks in advance,
Sowmya

Problem with user defined selection-screens

Hi,
in my case, i have a default selection screen and a user defined selection screen. Now, after selecting a radio button in default selection screen, the user defined selection screen is called. after executing it report output is displayed. now if i press f3 (back) it is going to default selection screen. here my requirement is, when i press f3 it should go to the user defined selection.
Can u plz help me solve this.
bye n regards
sree

Any modifications to screen 1000 will be lost the next time the program is generated.
When the user hits the back key from the report output, your ABAP is restarted just like when you originally started it. That is why you are getting the default selection screen again.
Use the AT USER-COMMAND event. When BACK is hit from the report, use the SUBMIT command to re-execute the program, passing it the selections from the default selection screen. Leave out the RETURN option.
For help on filling the selection screen during SUBMIT, help is available at

2.1.1 Problem with User Defined Reports with actions on the context menu

I use the User Defined Reports quite a lot, and export and publish these to other members of the team as Shared Reports. I'm also quite disappointed that there seems to be no further development in this area of SQL Developer.
One of the totally undocumented features of User Defined Reports is the ability to attach actions to a context menu, and pass data from the grid to a procedure, for example. Copying, then exporting the sessions report (from All Reports -> Data Dictionary Reports -> Database Administration -> Sessions) exposes the XML for adding actions to the context menu. The snippet for killing a session looks like this:
<item reload="true" reloadparent="false" removeFromParent="false">
<title>Kill Session</title>
<prompt type="confirm" >
 <label>Kill Session?</label>
 <default><![CDATA[]]></default>
 <value><![CDATA[]]></value>
</prompt>
<sql><![CDATA[ALTER SYSTEM KILL SESSION '#SID#, #SERIAL#' IMMEDIATE]]></sql>
<help>Kill the selected session.</help>
</item>So to add this type of functionality to your own user defined reports, you need to export the report, edit the XML, and import it again. It seems to work fine to add this to the master reports, but if you add an <item> element to the child reports, the context menu items appear on the master report too, and they are duplicated many times. I'm not sure if the action of exporting the report adds to the number of times the context menu appears.
Warning - if you edit a report using SQL Developer, all the <item> tags are removed. Once you've added actions to a context menu, you can only edit the report by exporting it, modifying the XML and importing it again.
Has anyone else seen this behavior? Have you found a work-around?
To the SQL Developer team: Are there any plans to allow the adding of user defined context menu items to reports using the GUI in the near future?

You're right the context menu needs a GUI desperately. You can request this at the SQL Developer Exchange, so other users can vote and add weight for possible future implementation.

K.

Problem with User exit variable

We're using an user exit variable (var2) for YTD calculation (For getting the first month of current year). It gets value from another exit variable (var1) which has by default value last month of current year(populated in I_step1 from sy-datum). If the user wants he can change the default value of var1. It works fine when the query is executed the first time. But if the user calls the variable screen again, the variable screen does not show var1 in the popup and the user gets an error message that no value could be determined for var2. How can this issue be resolved or is there any other method to satisfy this requirement.
Your help would be appreciated and rewarded.
Thanks & Regards
Hari

Hi Ravi,
Sorry, there's a correction. var2 is used for getting the first month of the year selected by the user in var1. If the user doesn't enter a value for var1, then var2 should take first month of current year from var1 which has by default last month of current year (populated in i_step1 from sy-datum). The user can select the value of var1 according to his requirement. Then var 2 should get first month of the year selected. That's why I'm using two exit variables.
It works fine during the initial run of the query. But when the user clicks on the variable button in the toolbar and executes the query, var1 is not being displayed and an error message No value could be determined for var2 is shown. All other variables used in the query are displayed except var1.
Krzys, Is the option Can be changed in Query Navigation available for Exit variables. I'll check that and get back to you.
Boujema, Thanks for the OSS note.
Thanks
Hari
