Url Type Field in List - Visualization

Hi,
I have a sharepoint list with a url type field. The field is displayed has a link but with the whole url string visible.
How can I control the "link" text like its done on a gridview where I can choose the field for text and field for the link?
i.e: <asp:HyperLinkField DataTextField="Reference" DataNavigateUrlFields="Url" HeaderText="Id" />
Many thanks,
DD

Hey,
As per my understanding, you want to display link with text instead of whole url string. For that you can provide link text as a description in URL type field so the same will be displayed as a link title in list view while rendering.
Thanks.

Using the URL type field in a Dictionary

Using the URL type field in a Dictionary
How and when would I use the URL Field in a Dictionary? What is the advantage of using this field?
For example, you may have tasks within a service delivery in which performers must access a spreadsheet and enter their estimated efforts and costs in that spreadsheet. You might use this URL type field to direct the task performers to the site where the spreadsheet is residing.
To set up the URL field:
In the Dictionary, for the desired Field, select the "URL" type.
When the service performer enters information into the field (during the Service Dellivery moment), it will beautomatically concatenated with the RequestCenter system URL, and presented as a hyperlink immediately below the entry field in the service form.
The performer is directed to the URL, i.e.:
/RequestCenter/servicemanager/MemorySize
Advantages to this design approach:
1. Allows users who do not have access to RequestCenter to view the estimated efforts and costs.
2. Compensates for the fact that the service form itself cannot display the fields in a table format.

Cannot add hub-managed content type with external list lookup columns to a list -- Error:Id field is not set on the external data field

This is a variation on the issue mentioned in this
post
We are using SP 2010 Content Hub to manage our content types. On the content hub we've created a couple of exteranl lists, and then created some site columns as lookups against these lists. We then added the columns to one of our content types
and set it to publish.
After the publishing job executed, I tried adding the content type (which now appears on the subscriber sites) to one of the document libraries on one of the subscriber sites. When I did that it threw the following error:
Microsoft.SharePoint.WebControls.BusinessDataListConfigurationException: Id field is not set on the external data field

I checked the external content type configuration and it did specify an "id column". Anyone know if what I am attempting to do is possible and if so, what special configurations are required?
Thanks

The issue is not External Content type or external list but the look up column.
It's not possible to publish a look up column via the Content Type Hub.
If you need to do this then an alternate way is to use a Managed Metadata column instead, otherwise you will have to implement this via a feature.

Partner bank type field missing in payment proposal list

Hi Gurus,
       The partner bank type field is not being displayed in payment proposal list whereas I can display the same in vendor line item display. Though there is a field named BnkT in the proposal list the partner bank type is not displayed. Kindly advice me in this regard.
Regards.

Hello,
Please note the system selects the bank with the lowest BVTYP.
This means that a bank which has no BVTYP will be selected first,
then one with AAAA, then BBBB. This is the reason why the partner
bank which you expected was not chosen.
Please read the F1 help for this field which explains the main purpos
of this field:
F1 Help:
In the business partner's master record:
     If several bank accounts exist in a customer or vendor master
     record, you can assign different keys for these accounts.
In the item:
     To use a particular bank of the business partner for the payment
     an item, enter the appropriate key in the item. The payment prog
     then pays the item via the business partner's predefined bank.
Here you can enter, for example a number, 0001.
Then, when you post a document with the transaction FB01 or F-42, you
can display the field 'Partner bank type' (BSEG-BVTYP). Here you can
write the number 0001 or another number for another bank of the same
vendor. Afterwards, you can post this document.
Also, you can use Business Transaction Event (Open-FI) 00001810 to
implement your own algorithm to select a bank. For details, see the
documentation of the sample function module SAMPLE_PROCESS_00001810.
Also review below notes in the same context about "F110: partner bank
type".
363219 - F110: Wrong partner bank after proposal run maintnc
390740 - F110: partner bank type not in clearing line of payment doc
Hope this clarifies the system behaviour.

When I am trying to create an organization in HRMS, and clicking on Type field, it is showing me "Frm-41830: List of values contains no entries". Please suggest me what is the solution

Hi,
Type is one part of Org creation....
Optionally, select an organization type in the Type field.
Organization types do not classify your organization, you use them for reporting purposes only. The type may identify the function an organization performs, such as Administration or Service, or the level of each organization in your enterprise, such as Division, Department or Cost Center. You create the organization types you require by entering values for the Lookup Type ORG_TYPE.

List field vs. Content Type Field - Powershell

Hello,
We have a bunch of document libraries where we have a List Column that contains information. We have recently added a content type to the libraries and would like to copy the information from the List Column to a field in the content type.
How do I use powershell to refer to these fields?
If I have the Document Library (List) as a variable $list then I assume that I refer to the field as $list.$column. But how do I do the same for the document? How do I iterate through each document in the library to accomplish the same thing
with a for loop?
Something like:
$list = $web.GetList("My List Name")
foreach ($document in $list)
$document.Fields["Document Field"] = $list.Fields["List Field"]
$document.update()
Any help would be greatly appreciated,
Matt

your code should be similar to
$web=Get-SPWeb http://your_site_url_here
$list=$web.Lists["List_Name_here"]
foreach($item in $list.Items)
#your logic here
Hope that helps|Amr Fouad|MCTS,MCPD sharePoint 2010

Database Type field in Data Services 3.0

Hi,
Now I'm using the IDSServer 4.5 JDBC-ODBC driver type 3 to connect BEA Acqualogic Data Services 3.0 to MS-Access 2003.
I configured the IDSWaldbottDS DataSource with those parameters:
Driver class name: ids.sql.IDSDriver
URL: jdbc:ids://psnb161:12/conn?dsn=WaldbottDS
I created the system DSN ODBC datasource called 'WaldbottDS' in Windows XP
Based on the AdminServer log file, I can demostrate that the BEA connect successfully with MS Access:
####<Mar 5, 2008 9:14:37 AM ACT> <Info> <JDBC> <psnb161> <AdminServer> <[ACTIVE] ExecuteThread: '0' for queue: 'weblogic.kernel.Default (self-tuning)'> <<WLS Kernel>> <> <> <1204726477248> <BEA-001516> <Connection Pool "IDSwaldbottDS" connected to Database: "ACCESS", Version: "04.00.0000".>
Now, In the project Explorer, I executed those commands:
New -> Physical Data Service.
Inside the Create Physical Data Service dialog box, the Relational database objects is set to Tables and views.
I select the Data Source Type as Relational. When I select IDSwaldbottDS as Data Source, nothing appears in "Database Type" field. If I press the next button, an error message appears:
"Cannot obtain connection: driverURL = jdbc:weblogic:pool:IDSwaldbottDS, props = {EmulateTwoPhaseCommit=false, connectionPoolID=IDSwaldbottDS, jdbcTxDataSource=true, LoggingLastResource=false, dataSourceName=IDSwaldbottDS}.

I recognize that the "Database Type" must be filled with the database version so I can continue configuring the physical Data Source for MS Access 2003.
How can I solve this problem?

[ There original post I made is incorrect. The classes/shared libraries need only to be available to the server - they do not need to be available to ALDSP Studio, since the database is access via the server. Double check that the required classes/shared libraries for your jdbc driver are available to your server ]
I searched our CR database for the stacktrace/error that you have and found serveral CR. Most of them indicate the problem was jar file(s) for the jdbc driver were not present in the client classpath. So - whatever you added to the server classpath (and PATH - if there were also shared object libraries) - we need to add those to the ALDSP Studio (eclipse) classpath (PATH).
you can put the jar(s) in
aldsp_3.0\eclipse-plugins\dsp\eclipse\plugins\com.bea.dsp.ide.external_3.0.0
and modifying
aldsp_3.0\eclipse-plugins\dsp\eclipse\plugins\com.bea.dsp.ide.external_3.0.0\META-INF/manifest.mf.
There are two places in manifest.mf you will need to add the jar file - once under Bundle-Classpath and once under Export-Package.

Can "SPML Web Service Complex Data Type field" take multiple values ?

In Generic Technology Connector's -SPML design parameters section, Can we give multiple values in SPML Web Service Complex Data Type field?
If not, how can i call methods directly instead of calling them through a values of the "name" attribute of the "complexType" element in SPML Web Service Complex Data Type?
I need 'SPML Web Service Complex Data Type' to hold multiple values.And based on the request it has to initiate appropriate method of action.
Presently i have three methods add,modify and delete which i am calling through a single value of the "name" attribute of the "complexType" element in SPML Web Service Complex Data Type.
I want to replace this single value with multiple menthods , so that a direct interaction between the method,OIM and target can be established.

Thanks Robert.
You'll need to create your own interface to the webapp database for those kind of data operations
by this, are you speaking of the internal BC database which stores web app schema data? That would be great if it were possible to update that programmatically because I need to use the List (Checkbox List) field type (for the search functionality), but I need to supply the checkbox options from a web app rather than by manually updating the list entered in the Fields view of the web app settings (shown below).
I'm curious if anyone else has tried this?
Again, my reason for needing to use the List (Checkbox List) field type is that the page which processes searches knows to expect a comma separated list for this field type and then appears to be parsing out the individual values for searching out web app items with 1 or more matching values. You're right that text fields (string and multiline) just check for 'string contains' matches, and this would be ok if I was only ever needing to search just one value at a time. Here's an example of what I might do:
Web App item field value (as recorded against the List (Checkbox List) field type:
8294877,8294878
Web App Search value (for this same field):
8294879,8294877,8294885
The search would return this web app item because the field contains 2 (1 or more) individual values even though they were entered into the search field in a different order. If this web app item were just a Text (string or multiline) field, the searched value is not a substring of the web app item's stored value, so it would not find a match. Hence the need to use Checkbox List field type.
The web app will have thousands if not 10s of thousands of records, so dumping them all into one big array or object and searching on the front-end won't be practical (though it works great on smaller datasets).

How to open the Url type in Attachments Table

Hi All,
If we attached the any files, files are stored in the fnd_lobs table, pickup the data from the fnd lobs table and stored in the local system but if attached the url type how to open the url type.is there any standard ?
Thanks,
Venkat

You can do it one of two ways:
1. Insert some CSS that will change the target to "_new".
2. Change the field that the user enters information in to a single line of text, then create a calculated column that is:
=CONCATENATE("<a href=",[URL Field]." target=new>Click here</a>")
Format that as a number.

Input Help for TIME type field

I saw below discussion regarding a dropdown for a "TIME" type field.
Re: Time Search Help
It's a resuable component (that Thomas Jung created) and find it very slick.
I just couldn't make it to work. I'm getting a dump when I pressed the dropdown on the "TIME" field.
I was wondering, has anyone used this in conjunction with select-options (WDR_SELECT_OPTIONS) ?
I'm getting a system-dump, "Component usage VALUE_HELP does not exist". I double checked the name that I used on the "USED COMPONENT" tab and it is VALUE_HELP.
During method ADD_SELECTION_FIELD (for IF_WD_SELECT_OPTIONS) I'm using two parameters I_VALUE_HELP_TYPE = 'APPLDEV' and I_VALUE_HELP_ID = 'VALUE_HELP'.
Maybe I'm not using the right parameters ?
Anyway, I would appreciate if anyone could give me directions to correct the problem.Or maybe there is another and better way of having an input help for a "TIME" type field on select-option.
Thanks.
Vic

That is because the TIME is a freely programmed value help and freely programmed value helps are not supported by the Select-Options component. That limited is listed in the online help:
Type of input help specified as type IF_WD_VALUE_HELP_HANDLER.
Note that only ABAP Dictionary-based input help and OVS input help are supported; freely programmable input help is not supported.
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70ehp1/helpdata/en/45/bf07361248003de10000000a11466f/frameset.htm
The reason for this is that the freely programmed value help is accessed via a component usage. The Select-Options however are a separate component. They have no declaration to your components, component usages. Therefore they produce the error that the component usage doesn't exist - which is correct. It doesn't exist in the Select-Options Component.

RERAPL (Posting Log) - Selection screen Contract Type field

Hi Forum
Is there a way to see the landscape specific contract types defined under 'Contract Type' entries(F4) list of RERAPL selection screen rather the generic list ?
i.e. in RERAPL selection screen, for 'Contract Type' field under 'More Fields' section of 'FI Document for Selection' area, only the generic list of contract types viz., Loans, Securities, Foreign Echange etc is seen. Why not the list what has been created in RE Contract Types is shown here ?
Please advice.
Regards, Sekhar

Hi Sekhar,
reason is that the field 'contract type' in the selection for FI document is not the contract type known in RE.
contract type field in FI document is 1 CHAR (technical field name VERTT) and contains the information to which application the contract number refers in the FI document line.
The 4 CHAR contract type in application RE-FX (technical field name RECNTYPE) is used in RE-FX only and not stored in the FI document. Therefore it is not possible to select FI documents by this contract type.
Hope this information is helpful for you.
Regards, Franz
