Using DYNP_VALUES_UPDATE with a Maintenance View

Hi,
I am using a maintenance view to insert values into a table. When user creates a new entry, based on the value provided for a field,I need to fill a read-only field. In PAI, when user enters a value for one field, I am using FM 'DYNP_GET_STEPL' to get the current line and then DYNP_VALUES_UPDATE to fill the contents to the read-only field. But this does not seem to work. Any idea?
Regards
Rachana

Hi Tamas,
I tried both the options suggested by you.
I am updating the underlying structure, still its not visible when the screen loads again. But if you see the same field gets filled with DYNP_VALUES_UPDATE if an F4 help is used for teh first(editable) field and then my read-only field is also filled in the PROCESS ON VALUE REQUEST module.
So my guess is that, since it is a table control, it loops through the rest of the table control which is empty and my underlying structure gets cleared. So the problem could be where I am actually filling the field.
Is it possible to somehow fill the <EXTRACT> table so that teh value is not lost?
Regards
Rachana

Using user-defined transport recording routine with table maintenance view?

Hi,
I have a table that is maintained through a maintenance view. I need to record the changes to a dedicated transport object (not TABU) with my own recording routine instead of teh standard recording routine.Could someone tell me which/how the events can be used to achieve this?
Regards
Rachana

Hi Rajeev,
I have changed TMG to choose the option - User defined routine. And I have created a new transport object in SOBJ for the table. Is this enough to record the object to the transport as the object i defined instead of TABU? Do I need to write some subroutine for any view event to achieve this? Do you mean to use the menu option to include the object to a request?
I have a bigger problem where this view is actually part of a view cluster. Even in that case is teh above steps enough?

Maintenance view does not bring the default language in the Text table

Hi Experts,
I am creating a maintenance view with the join of two tables
TAB1 has following fields
MANDT
CATEGORY
TAB2 (is the text table for TAB1) has the following fields
MANDT
LANGU
CATEGORY
DESCRIPTION
I have created the maintenance view with
MANDT
CATEGORY
DESCRIPTION
When Itry to maintain the data through the view I can insert teh data in TAB1 but in TAB2 it doesnt take the default language key.
I want my default language key as 'EN'.
I have referred V_T77TMC_EDUTYP, but I cannot find the reason why in my custom view I dont get the language key.
Request your help.
Thanks
Anu.

Hello Anu,
I believe that according to definition of maintenance view, for text tables there should be an automatic entry for sy-langu in SPRAS field. So, you should be able to get this without activating any TMG events.
I suppose you have created a maintenance generator for your maintenance view and updating entries using SM30 for that maintenance view.
Please check that you have created the text table properly. Check while putting TAB1 in SE16n and pressing enter, do you see TAB2 in 'text table' field ???
Make sure while defining Foreign key relationship, you have used 'Key fields of a Text table' option.
Do share if you face any problem ?

Table maintenance view not saving changes

Hi experts
I have created a Z table with corresponding maintenance view (with transaction). Also, there is a Z program to insert records into the table from xls file.
When accesing the maintenance view, I can add and remove entries, but the problem is:
       when I update a record, if the records has been created using the maintenance view, then changes are saved to database, but if I try to modify a record added by using the Z program, none of the modifications are saved to DB.
I have re-created maintenance view, and table properties (delivery class A, display/maintenance allowed ...) seem to be OK.
Can someone provide some help with this?.
Many thanks in advance for your help.
Best regards,
Carlos.

thanks for that but i already known how do that , my question was if sap don't do that integrity check for itself i mean in the abap dictionary , example that let me delete data that have relationship with other ( foreign keys relationship ).
the step 5 only happen with you do a maintained view with the second table how dependency ( maintained both table with the same view ) if that is you try to say i already known that , i was try maintained it with different maintenance view.

Maintenance View Validations

I have a custom table for which I am maintaining a Maintenance View.
I want to provide some validations and checks on the fields entered by the user in that maintenance view.
For example, if the user enters a value greater than 1000 in quantity field, I want to display a message saying that " enter only values below 1000". This is part of customer requirement.
Can I provide validations on fields in Maintenance view and if yes, then how ?
Thanks,
Urmila

Hi this may help u.
Maintenance views offer easy ways to maintain complex application objects.
Data distributed on several tables often forms a logical unit, for example an application object, for the user. You want to be able to display, modify and create the data of such an application object together. Normally the user is not interested in the technical implementation of the application object, that is in the distribution of the data on several tables.
A maintenance view permits you to maintain the data of an application object together. The data is automatically distributed in the underlying database tables. The maintenance status determines which accesses to the data of the underlying tables are possible with the maintenance view.
All the tables in a maintenance view must be linked with foreign keys, that is the join conditions for maintenance views are always derived from the foreign key (see Foreign Key Relationship and Join Condition). You cannot directly enter the join conditions as for database views.
There are some restrictions for the attributes of the foreign keys with which the tables in a maintenance view can be linked (see Restrictions for Maintenance and Help Views).
A standardized table maintenance transaction is provided (SM30), permitting you to maintain the data from the base tables of a maintenance view together.
Maintenance mechanisms, like screens and processing programs, must be created from the view definition with the transaction Generate Table View (SE54). This makes it possible to create easy-to-use maintenance interfaces in a simple manner.
You can find out how to create such maintenance mechanisms in the documentation BC - Generate Table Maintenance Dialog.
Creating Maintenance Views
Procedure
Enter an explanatory short text in the field Short text.
You can for example find the view at a later time using this short text.
Enter the primary table of the view under Tables in the Tables/Join conditions tab page.
Only those tables that are linked with the primary table (indirectly) with a foreign key can be included in the maintenance view.
If required, include more tables in the view. In a maintenance view you can only insert tables that are linked to one another with foreign keys.
Place the cursor on the primary table and choose Relationships. All existing foreign key relationships of the primary table are displayed. Select the required foreign key and choose Copy. The secondary table used in such a foreign key is included in the view. The join conditions derived from the foreign keys (see Foreign Key Relationship and Join Condition) are displayed.
You can also insert tables that are linked by foreign key with one of the secondary tables that was already inserted. To do this, place the cursor on the secondary table and choose Relationships. Then proceed as described above.
For maintenance and help views, there are certain restrictions on the foreign keys with which the tables can be included in the view (see Restrictions for Maintenance and Help Views). The foreign keys violating these conditions are displayed at the end of the list under the header Relationships with unsuitable cardinality.
On the View fields tab page, select the fields that you want to copy to the view.
Choose Table fields. All the tables contained in the view are displayed in a dialog box. Select a table. The fields of the table are now displayed in a dialog box. You can copy fields by selecting them in the first column and choosing Copy.
All key fields of the primary table must be included in a maintenance view. In addition, all key fields of secondary tables that are not involved in the foreign key (that is, which are not linked via a join condition to a key field already included in the view) must be included in the view.
This ensures that the records inserted with a maintenance view can be written correctly in the tables contained in the view.
On the Selection conditions tab page, you can (optionally) formulate restrictions for the data records that can be displayed with the view (see Maintaining Selection Conditions for Views).
The selection conditions define the data records that can be selected with the view.
In the Maintenance status tab page, define the maintenance status of the view.
The maintenance status defines how you can access the view data with the standard maintenance transaction (SM30).
Choose .
At activation, a log is written; it can be displayed with Utilities ® Activation log. If errors or warnings occurring when the view was activated, the activation log is automatically displayed.
Go to Transaction SE54 with Environment ® Tab.maint.generator.
From the view definition you can generate maintenance modules and maintenance interfaces that distribute the data entered with the view to the base tables of the view. You can find more information in Creating a Maintenance Dialog.
Other Options
Recording documentation: You can create information about using the view with Goto ® Documentation. This documentation is output for example when you print the view.
Changing the data element of a view field: Select column Mod (modification) for the view field. The Data element field is now ready for input. You can enter a data element that refers to the same domain as the data element of the assigned table field here. Cancel the Mod flag if you want to use the data element of the assigned table field again.
Enter the delivery class of the view: In the Maintenance status tab page, select the delivery class of the maintenance view. If you assign the delivery class G or E to the view, you must also maintain a customer namespace (key block) for the view entries. To navigate to the appropriate maintenance transaction, choose Define Customer Namespace.
Entering the maintenance attributes of the view field: In the View fields tab page you can define the Maintenance Attributes of the view field in column F.
Check functions: With Extras ® Runtime object ® Check you can determine whether the definition of the view in the ABAP Dictionary maintenance screen is identical to the definitions in the runtime object of the view. With Extras ® Runtime object ® Display you can display the runtime object of the view.
table maintai9nenece generator
The Table Maintenance Generator is used to create table maintenance program to add, modify or delete records in the database table. This can be accessed using transaction SE54 or in SE11 using the menu Utilities->Table Maintenance Generator.
Table maintenance allows you to create entries for that table
Follow these steps to generate table maintenance
1) Go to SE11 and check table maintanance check box under attributes tab.
2) Go to menu Utilities -> Table Maintanance Generator ->

Wiki Pages - Open Web Part Page in maintenance view

I am trying add custom .aspx pages to a SharePoint 2010 Document Library. When I try to edit properties for those pages, the edit page shows "Open Web Part Page in maintenance view to delete problem Web Parts and remove personal settings.
Open Web Part Page in maintenance view." I click Open Web Part Page in maintenance view
The page displays
The are currently no Web Parts associated with any Web Part Zones on this page. Web Parts added to the page outside of a Web Part Zone will not appear in this list.
I don't do anything with the maintenance view because there are no Web Parts to delete.
As a test, I save the content of the custom.aspx page as a text file, custom.txt. The edit properties displays just fine.
Another test, I save the content as custom.htm. The edit properties displays just fine.
I try many variations of saving the content of custom.aspx with various html tags and even no tags at all. One version just has the text,"test" in the page. Save error:
Open Web Part Page in maintenance view to delete problem Web Parts and remove personal settings. Open Web Part Page in maintenance view."
Going down another path, I try to compare the source of this aspx page with other SharePoint aspx pages. One test is the Wiki Page. All Wiki pages display the same message on my farm. Is this a known issue with Wiki Pages?
<apparently I'm not allowed to add images yet>
As another point of comparison I opened the Edit Properties part within an Office 365 Wiki. Same message.
<apparently I'm not allowed to add images yet>

Hi Chris,
As your description, when you uploaded a .aspx page into a library and edited the properties, the message "Open Web Part Page in maintenance view to delete problem Web Parts and remove personal settings. Open Web Part Page in maintenance view"
showed.
I could reproduce this issue if I uploaded a .aspx page into a library and edited its properties.
Then I went to Site Pages library, and select a page and edit its property, the same message also showed like the screenshot:
It seems that the message will show when we edit the properties of a page no matter which library we upload it to, it seems to be by design.
In addition, if you want to upload a image into the thread, you can first upload the image into OneDrive, then copy and paste the URL of the image here.
Thanks,
Wendy

Using an event in table maintenance view to populate a field

I have a table maintenance view, and I would like to populate one field of the table with derived data. I am trying to do this by coding a routine for one of the events, but so far no luck. I have been able to chege the data in the TOTAL table, but still it does not populate the field on the screen.
Note this is not for one row as it is entered, but I want all rows of the table displayed to show this field with derived data.
So the question is: what is the correct event to use, and what is the correct internal table to update? Can I make changes to EXTRACT or TOTAL to do this?
Kind Regards,
Tony.

Hi Rob,
Sorry for being lazy; I'll close this and off and search :-}

Add fields to maintenance view and update then using events

Hi experts:
I've created a table with 4 fields, one of them is userid. Also, there is a maintenance view to add new entries.
I want to display user name when typing userid using events (1 or 21). I know how to do it if username is one of the fields of the table, but there is a requirement to not store username in the table, just userid.
My question is: is possible to add a field into the maintenance view and update it using events but not store the value in DB?.
Thanks in advance for your help.
Regards,
Carlos.

In the save event just clear the entries of the field(user name) in the internal table.

Maintenance View with Subset Fields

Hi All,
I have created a maintenance view based on a single DB table. Two key fields are defined to be as subset fields. No selection conditions are added to the view. I have used table maintenance genrator to define the screen (one step) along with the events.
In SM30, i get the popup to fill the subset fields.
I have created an event for AA (to replace default read). I am filling total attribute here.
a) Is there some other attribute that i need to fill apart from total?
I receive following dump
" Exception condition "NO_VALUE_FOR_SUBSET_IDENT" is raised"
When i set <status>-sbsid_rcvd = 'R' in read routine along with total, then the above exception doesn't appear.
But filtering based on the subset values doesn't happen automatically.
b) I also need have to have routines to perform insert, copy and validation.
c) Would the contents displayed be automatically filtered based on the subset values or we need to process this in user routines for read and so on?
As i find very limited documentation available for maintenance views with subset fields, could you suggest me some example to do the above?
Thanks in Advance,
Regards,
Rekha

Hello Rekha,
Yes I've same idea, documentation for maintenance screens is inadequate.
But there is way to find examples for all events,
table TVIMF is storing the Table name - Event - Form name columns.
For example when u want to do something about "creating a new entry"
Just go se11 > Table maintenance generator and find related event : 05
- Then go to TVIMF and display a record for event = 05
- than go to function group of maintenance screen of the TABLE in that record
- find the subroutine form ( TVIMF-FORMNAME) in that function group
This is a working example for that event, try or copy & use.
I hope it helps you for the coding for all the events.

Use of Maintenance Views.

Hi all
I made a maintenance view for use in my programs to access data from different tables.
But facing problem while accessing data using a select query in program.
Like:-
REPORT ZVIEW.
data: it type table of zabhiview,
     wa type zabhiview.
select * from zabhiview into table it.
loop at it into wa.
write:/ wa-carrid,
         wa-ORT01,
         wa-CHANGEUSER.
endloop.
zabhiview-->maintenance view.
please tell how to use views in our programs.
Thank you.

for maintaining depending table entries with in a single view.
ex.
Let us take example three table emp_master, emp_sal and emp_rating. three tables are containing following fields
emp_master        emp_sal         emp_rating
empno               empno             empno
department        basic               status
fname                variable

Can I use classes and methods for a maintenance view events?

Hello experts,
Instead of perform/form, can I instead use classes and methods, etc for a given maintenance view event, lets say for example I want to use event '01' which is before saving records in the database. Help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks a lot guys!

Hi viraylab,
1. The architecture provided by maintenance view
   for using EVENTS and our own code inside it -
   It is provided using FORM/PERFORM
   concept only.
2. At this stage,we cannot use classes.
3. However, inside the FORM routine,
   we can write what ever we want.
   We can aswell use any abap code, including
   classes and methods.
(But this classes and methods won't have any
   effect on the EVENT provided by maintenance view)

You can simply call it via SM30.   Or you can call the table maintence view from any program(report or module pool) using a function module.
call function 'VIEW_MAINTENANCE_CALL'
       exporting
            action                       = 'U'
            view_name                    = 'Z_Table_Name'
       exceptions
            client_reference             = 1
            foreign_lock                 = 2
            invalid_action               = 3
            no_clientindependent_auth    = 4
            no_database_function         = 5
            no_editor_function           = 6
            no_show_auth                 = 7
            no_tvdir_entry               = 8
            no_upd_auth                  = 9
            only_show_allowed            = 10
            system_failure               = 11

ICal View-Used to be able to view week with months on the side

In the older version, I used to be able to view my iCal in the week view, with a colum on the side that showed the calandars. I just updated to Lion and can't figure out how to get this same view.

Greetings,
The calendar side bar is a drop down menu in Lion. To see the calendars you must click on the "Calendars" button in the top left corner of the iCal window. The list is designed to disappear when not in use.
The feature you are looking for does seem to be a part of the next version of OS X, Mountain Lion: http://www.macworld.com/article/1165436/mountain_lion_hands_on_with_contacts_and _calendar.html
