User prompt on program execution...

Hi all,
I run a job in batch that executes tcode SM01 as a BDC to lock a set of transactions. I have users that try to execute these tcodes while the tcodes are locked which confuses them as the only prompt they receive is in the left bottom corner of the window...the message states the tcode is locked I want to display a prompt to my users to let them know why the tcode is locked. Probably a bunch of ways to tackle this...I was thinking adding a subroutine to send an email to the user population when the locks are set and unset. Or...maybe basis can configure something to display a message when a certain locked tcode is run? Any other thoughts? I want to do something that can be automated...
thanks,
Mat

Basis option sounds more appropriate to me if they can some how pop out a message when users login to SAP - this message should be for only users with access to the concerned tcodes
User exit - which ever program/rountine SAP is using to determine that a transaction is locked - see if you can find a user exit before or after and try to give a message of your own. I am not sure if you can find a user exit for this purpose but worth a try. If its a new system then implicit enhancements can be checked.

Program execution during RIMODAC2..will it always reach to cif user exit

Hello ,
We are implementing cif user exit for Purchase Order at R3 side to capture additional date field. So logic to capture additional date field is put in user exit CIFPUR01. We have RIMODAC2 background job for Purchase order running on daily basis.
if there is no change in standard Purchase Order objects. When RIMODAC2 is executed for purchase order Integration models ..will program execution still always reach to R3 user exit part of the program irrespective of if any change in standard purchase order object has happened or not.
Will appreciate your answer.
Thank you
Best Regards
Nilesh Patil

Nilesh,
I am no longer sure I understand the question.
RIMODAC2 activates the model. Once a model is activated, if someone changes certain specific fields in an R/3 object, then these changes are sent to SCM, either immediately or via change pointers. All this happens irrespective of IM userexits.
If this same field in this same object is changed in R/3, and a userexit also has been implemented, the userexit will execute according to its design, performing whatever task it has been programmed to do.
If you create and implement a userexit, it begins working at that moment in time that it is installed. Data that flowed across 'yesterday' to SCM is not affected. Data that flows across 'tomorrow' will be affected. Data in R/3 will usually only flow across to SCM if there is some kind of triggering event, usually a database 'change' transaction (e.g., ME22N for POs) The mere act of installing a userexit will not generally affect existing data on either side. The userexit only affects data that flows across the IM. Unchanged records in the R/3 database will generally not be sent to SCM by the IM, and will not be subject to userexit processing.
It is not generally the responsibility of a functional consultant to explain the workings of a userexit to a technical consultant. It is enough that the functional identifies the userexit, and specifies the business requirement in as much detail as possible. The developer is then responsible for carrying out the coding. Technicals are generally expected to be competent enough to determine from the userexit docs, and from the surrounding code, how a userexit works. They can also raise a message to SAP. In the end, it is all just ABAP, although userexit implementations can be quite challenging. SAP seldom provides enough details in their documentation. Once the Technical has finalized the code, Functional and Technical together then perform unit testing, before passing the mods to users for integration testing.
If your client's coders are unable to manage the task, perhaps they should engage your company to provide technical expertise, as well as functional expertise.

User exit ZXF08U06.. values not able to see while program execution.

Am working with user exit ZXF08U06...
I am passing values into IDOC in this user exit ZXF08U06 program.
once we run RFFOEDI1, it excutes through this user exit ZXF08U06...When we use /nWE02 to look at the following IDOC: ( basic type: pexr2001; logical message: payext; partner port: edixign ).
The IDOC will be there but instead of segments E2EXXXX, the segments are like E1EXXXX.
But in user exit ZXF08U06I, am writing conditions for E2EXXXX fields.
I believe once the idoc is processed...it writes into one file where it shows as E2EXXXX.
So I could not see and correct my userexit program with the values how they are getting passing (or processed ) into IDOC.
Could you please suggest me how to achieve this ?
MUCH THANKS in ADVANCE

Hi Piyush,
1) Why Rowimpl generated empty? Is is generating empty that why while compiling .class file is not generating that why I am getting error.
--> Rowimpl should not generate empty. It should generate same as the standard VO's VORowImpl. You can go to JDeveloper and try checking and unchecking Generate Java Files.
eg.
While extension if you have not checked Generate Java File inside VO --> Edit --> Java
it would point to standard VOImpl and VORowImpl of VO which you extended.

Date format changes in the middle of a program execution

In my C code I have a series of select statements.
When I first get a session to the database I use the following command to set the date format
alter session set nls_date_format = 'MM/DD/YYYY HH24:MI:SS'
It works fine for a few queries. After a while during the program execution I see that the date format changes to 'DD-MON-YY' format. This results in a series of error in my code because I expect the date format to always be in the 'MM/DD/YYYY HH24:MI:SS' format.
Any idea why the date format should change all of a sudden in the middle of the program execution.

I second the idea that you should always use TO_DATE and TO_CHAR if you want to reliably convert between dates and strings.
Without seeing your code, it is hard to say why your date format is changing, but the most likely reason is that you are changing users somewhere in the code. For example:
SQL> show user
USER is "OPS$ORACLE"
SQL> SELECT sysdate FROM dual;
SYSDATE
11-JUL-2003
SQL> ALTER SESSION SET nls_date_format='dd-Mon-yyyy hh24:mi:ss';
Session altered.
SQL> SELECT sysdate FROM dual;
SYSDATE
11-Jul-2003 10:15:12
SQL> connect jtest/test
Connected.
SQL> SELECT sysdate FROM dual;
SYSDATE
11-JUL-2003TTFN

Duty cycle value & user prompt

1. Duty cycle
The value input in the front panel works fine up to 34%, but then it fails for any value above 35%.
(for input value 35% and above, instrument shows 0.5% instead..for all values..)
How can I fix this to make it between 0-100%???
2. User Prompt for config file
Currently, config file will be loaded via "Load Config" case, but is it possible to kick this off when the main VI starts?
The idea is to force a user to load config file to synchronize between the instrument display and the LV front panel.
(when every time the program gets kicked off)
Does anyone have an idea how to do this?
Thanks,

Dynamically call VI containing only a user prompt

I have a prettt simple program that monitors an input voltage, and switches a relay (to turn on a pump) and sounds an alarm when the input voltage reaches a threshold level. The whole time, the readings from the ai and the state of the pump are displayed on a chart. The pump, once triggered ON, has to manually be turned off. I would like there to be a prompt that says "Are you sure you want to turn the pump off?" when the user presses "Turn pump off" button, but in the meantime I would like the chart to still be updating in the background. More generally, there are lots of times when I want to add confirmation input after button presses, and I am trying to prevent them from always suspending the main program.
I have a sneaking suspicion, based on the responses so far, that there is still something fundamentally wrong with the way I design my programs. I am just learning to use queued message handling, state machines, producer/consumer designs. I realize their potential to tremendously improve my programs, but I need help implementing them. I am still searching for good text on the basics of these architectures. Can you suggest any, preferably one that skip over the basics?
Thanks!

Automatic program execution in the destination system.

SAP allows to include "special objects" into a transport
request which cause automatic program execution in the destinationsystem.
Can anybody let me know how can I do that?

Hi,
Do you mean installing/executing some program automatically
on user machine i.e. presentation system.
If yes, then following link will help you, see last section Installing the control
in which one setup file which is already uploaded to SAP Web Repository is downloded to presentation system and then executed on user machine to install the program.

How to pause program execution?

I'm developing a board game. It has the Board class, Coin class and Dice class.
The dice class has an animation to show the dice rolling. The coin class also has an animation to show the coin moving from start square to end square.
When user clicks on the dice the sequence of steps that take place are -
getRandomNumber();
dice.roll();
coin.move();
But the problem I'm facing is even before the dice rolling animation stops, the coin moving animation begins.
How can I pause the program execution so I can move to next line in program only when the animation in the previous is stopped?
or How can I change the logic so that it goes as desired.

Timelines (well, actually KeyFrames) have an action variable, where you can put a function doing whatever you need to do at the end of the key frame.
So, you can make your coin to move at the end of the dice animation (ie. calling coinAnimation.play() in the action of the last key frame of diceAnimation).

Is there anyway to reset the GPIB driver during program execution?

Is there anyway to reset the GPIB driver during program execution?

The issue at hand is that a thread is executing a series of tests which may or may not be making GPIB calls at any given time. The thread may be killed at any time with the function CmtTerminateThreadPoolThread (due to the user pressing the stop button on the GUI). Cooperative thread termination is not an option since a test may cause the thread of execution to lock up the system. The problem is that there may be outstanding GPIB calls at the time that the thread is stopped. These calls time out and generate run-time errors usually via the GPIB function ibrd. The motivation is to completely stop the GPIB driver while the thread is being killed, after which it can be re-initialized. Ideally.

Crystal Report not pulling over user prompts

I am having issues with a Crystal Report that is pulled over into a third party CRM db. I've already checked the Forums and the SAP notes but have had no luck in finding any help. Our Crystal Report pulls up fine on the client, but it is missing the user prompts (parameters) when it comes through. We don't get any errors what so ever. The user is supposed to put in the date range that they would like to see. Other reports which don't have any prompts work fine. We've run the reports in Crystal on the server and they work just fine. We are just having this problem whenever the client is trying to run the report. When we've talked to our technical support for our CRM db they said we are supposed to get a lightning bolt and then when we click on it, it will prompt the user. However, the lightning bolt doesn't even show up when the report is pulled up. I'm not sure is there is something being done wrong within our report, or if this is an issue with the Active X controls. We are using Crystal Reports XI on an SQL 2005 server. Any help is greatly appreciated - I'm very new to this so if someone could please point me in the right direction it would be helpful. Thanks!

Hello,
The Lightning bolt is the report refresh button in CR 10. CR 11 has blue circular arrows, one on top of the other. Or you can simply press the F5 key to refresh. It may be you are mixing versions or something else.
I suggest you work with your tech support to figure out how your application should work and what is posibly missing. If you have the report Designer and they work there then your app or DB has issues.
We don't know your app or how it all is supposed to work so not much we can suggest other than to get your support to help you.
If it's a WEB app then possibly the you have the Pop-up blocker enabled, the Parameter UI would considered a pop-up.
You relaly need to get your CRM support guys to help you first. If thye can't figure it out then ask them to put a call into support.
Thank you
Don

Grouping of data based on user prompt having a list of dimensions

Hi All,
I have a requirement to be able to group data in OBIEE request or Dashboard based on user prompt selection.
The prompt should list the Dimensions Available
e.g.
Dimensions: Product, Region, Employee
Fact: Sales
The report is to display sales total for the quarters of the current year.
The user prompt should list the available dimensions (In this case - Location, Employee and Product).
If I choose Product, the data is to be grouped by Products - Layout having a simple tabular grouping with Product names as Group headings.
Similarly any other choice of Dimension from the prompt should group the data by that dimension and have the dimension values used in the group headings.
How could we implement this? I understand this type of requirement (ability to choose dimension) is met in some OLAP reporting tools.
I have used multiple views and the View Selector for similar requirements previously, but looking for a dynamic solution here.
Any pointers or solution will be great.
Thanks,
Kiran

1 User Prompt for 2 rows in Financial Reporting ?

Hello,
for 2 years, I am struggling with following-
we have very detailled (detailled in 2 or 3 dimensions - let's say here: CBU and CostCenter ) reports, which run very long
in order to give user the overview/total as well, we want to give the total over all 2 or 3 dimensions only
the user should be allowed to choose 1 or more values (CBUs) via user prompt
current workaround is to have 2 user prompts (1 for detailled combinations) and (1 for total) and asking the user to fill the CBU 2 times
if user is not chosing same CBU(s), then report is inconsistant:
as many people have to use dozens of values and because there is no select all/ deselect all function - the handling is very annoying for the users.
Sample Report Definition
...........................................Dimension 1...........................................Dimension 2
Row 1 (of report definition): Descendants of Prompt for CBUs..............Descendants of Costcenter
Row 2 (of report definition): Prompt for CBUs....................................Costcenter Total
by this, we get a sample output like this: (Projects are the level 0 members of CBUs in CBU dimension)
...........................................Project A from CBU I.....................CostCenter X...............50
...........................................Project A from CBU I.....................CostCenter Y...............20
...........................................Project B from CBU II....................CostCenter X...............10
...........................................Project C from CBU III...................CostCenter Z...............100
...........................................Project D from CBU III...................CostCenter X...............200
...........................................CBU I..........................................CostCenter Total..........70
...........................................CBU II.........................................CostCenter Total..........10
...........................................CBU III........................................CostCenter Total..........300
Problem is:
I would like to define for
Row 2 Prompt for CBUs
and for
Row 1 Descendants of Same as Row 2
but then I get the error "5200 : Error executing query: +Server+/+Application+/+Database+/+User+/Error(1001005) Unknown Member [Same As Row 2] in Report
any idea how to workaround with that ? (have same problem with *Children of Same as Row 2*
I tried to combine *Same as Row 2* with *RelativeMember & Offset -1* definition in reporting is then: Relative to Same As Row 2 offset by -1
- but no success - all I achieve is a true Same as - resulting in duplication of all data of Row 2 and nothing from row 1.
Any other ideas, how to combine a same as function with functions like parent,children,descendants or relative member ? Did I do anything wrong in combining them or is the relativemember function not working in 9.3.1 ?
Please note, that these detailled reports typicially run 10 to 20 minutes - so telling users to run 2 reports or including lot's of not needed data or first retrieving and then hiding again is not really helpful - I would also not ask, if this function was not used in dozens of reports.
The user prompt function in financial reporting is the most used functionality in our reports- the users run approx. 100 reports a day - and fill between 3 and 10 user prompts (with a lot of default values & substitution variables) - this appeared the most efficient way for unexperienced users, who need different data every day.
unfortunately, it does not allow the report designer to allow either 1 or many values
it seems to struggle with our special request of "children of same as"
and it has no "select all" / "unselect all" button - which would allow the user to select all/none of the Choices List, defined in the user prompt.
Please do not recommend usage of Analyzer - this tool is far to slow, has no cancel button and the users simply go lost.
Smartview is too risky for majority of our users, as they would use the refresh button only - and not zoom in & zoom out - and miss a lot of new combinations by using old smartview-excel-templates (from previous month/forecast)
Any help on any of these items would be highly recommended.

If I understand correctly you would only have one CBU on any given report.
Instead of prompting for Row 2 and pulling the totals from the Outline. You could delete your current Row2 and have the report provide the totals based on the data results from ROW 1. Insert a row formula for Row 2 and sum the results for that paticular column.
Formula:
Sum([1])

Selecting a column in Answers report based on user prompt/ apply filter

I need to do the following in OBIEE Answers report (version 10.1.3.4.1):
1) Think of a simple table with dim TX_type and some measures like month_jan, month_feb, month_mar
so the fact table looks like (column names) tx_type, month_jan, month_feb, month_mar
2) I need to select the measure column based on a user dashboard prompt, prompt populates a presentation variable var_month = jan or feb or mar
3) I need to select the correct measure (one of these month_jan, month_feb, month_mar) and then apply column filter based on the dim TX_type to split the values of these into multiple columns for report. So the report may look like (in Answers)
Sales , Tax, overheads
where Sales may be defined as sum(month_jan) where rows have TX_type = 'sales'
where Tax may be defined as sum(month_feb) where rows have TX_type = 'tax'
where overheads may be defined as sum(month_mar) where rows have TX_type = 'overheads'
IF the user selects jan
IF user selects Feb then the 3 report columns are based on month_feb and likewise for month_mar
I cannot use column selector option as the report column further apply filter in column filter definitions in Answers...
4) When I try to build the column filter using a presentation variable (var_month), the presentation variable is not getting populated in the column filter.
For e.g. IF var_month = 'jan'
THEN month_jan (let us assume the logical column name is month_jan too)
ELSE month_feb and so on...
However, the var_month always shows 0 in the IF clause. If we used a repository variable instead, it works fine. But since repostory variable cannot be changed on the fly (by user prompt) it is not usable.
We cannot change fact table defintion....and we have 12 measures column and about 8-10 different colum filter based report columns using this measure.

Hi shyamvaran,
have you thought about a SQL statement in the prompt, something like:
SELECT
case when 1=0 then Table."Column" else 'Jan' end
FROM "Subject Area"
union
SELECT
case when 1=0 then Table."Column" else 'Feb' end
FROM "Subject Area"
union
SELECT
case when 1=0 then Table."Column" else 'Mar' end
FROM "Subject Area"
union
SELECT
case when 1=0 then Table."Column" else 'Apr' end
FROM "Subject Area"
etc...
Use this to give you the 12 values for your months then give the prompt column a presentation variable name and set a default value in the 'Default To'. Also set the same default value for the filter.
A couple of points:
1. If you're transforming the presentation variable from 'Jan' to 'month_jan' you may need to edit the syntax for the filter column (not using the dialog box).
2. If you're transforming the behaviour of a dimension / measure column in the report, have you specified the syntax correctly, e.g. sum('@{pres_var}')?
Hope this helps,
Justin

Is it possible to reset password for any user using abap program

Hi friends,
Is it possible to reset password for any user using abap program by specifying client number and user id. in selection screen.
if any code for that to reset password please mail me.
Thanks & Regards,
Yogesh

Hello Yogesh,
Yes you can reset the password for any body using ABAP Code. But for that you really don't need any client number.
If this process is on regular basis, then recommended is to use BAPI for changing the user details Otherwise BDC also works fine.
=> Function Module - BAPI_USER_CHANGE
Call this in the program for resetting the password.
=> CALL TRANSACTION 'SU01' USING InternalTable
This will be executed in the BDC of SU01 transaction recording. Use the Password Change button in the application toolbar of transaction while recording.
Hope this helps.
PS If the answer solves your query, plz close the thread by marking it solved and rewarding each reply.
Regards
