Using Wildcards in Value Help

Hi,
I have a input filed ZPERNR and i have assigend PREMN search help on this field.
I am able to search people in the organisation and it all works great until I use wildcards
When I enter SMITH in the last name in the value help it comes back with the list of people whose last name is SMITH
Problem:
When I enter SMITH* in the last name I get no results
In the SQL trace I noticed it changed my SMITH* to smith%
Not sure if there is any sap note to this issue
Any ideas?

Hi Jörg,
Yes the icon (Pattern) does appear after I enter, however I still don't get any results.
The weird thing is the value help works perfectly alright in r/3
Not sure why it is not working for me in the portal.
Thanks for your reply

Using S_RS_AUTH in VALUE HELP ?

Hi, thanks for your time.
I have problems with the use of the subject to S_RS_AUTH in BI 7.
For example, my object is ZCOUNTRY_CL and used 0COUNTRY with the "CL".
In the "Value Help" from Visual Composer displays all countries, while in BI7 shows only those countries that are within the authority.
The idea that I can think of is to create a ZBAPI to call a Query that I return the country of approval, Using for this RSCRM_BAPI or something similar in BI 7.
I would appreciate if you could indicate some other option to upload in the "Value Help" values of authority, or give me any suggestions to improve my idea.
greetings

Dump in Value-Help Component for date

I created a Value-Help-Component for date fields. (I cannot use the standard value help, because I need the help to start in the month, the user is working on).
I am using the Date Navigator to select a date.
If I first change the month with an arrow of the date navigator and then select a date I get a dump in the method IF_WD_CONTEXT_ELEMENT~GET_ATTRIBUTE_REF in line
attr_info = me->node_info->if_wd_context_node_info~get_attribute( name_only ).
, because the element does not have a node_info.
If I just choose a date in the preselected month (without using the arrows of the date navigator) everything is fine.
Does anybody have an idea??
Many thanks in advance.

I found the "solution" to the problem myself.
I used the method bind_structure in the component containing the date navigator.
After I replaced it by set_static_attributes it worked without producing dumps.
Very strange!

Error with Value Help

We Have Installed Netweaver Portal 7.0 and this is connected to CRM 5.0
We had a requirement where we had to Connect this Portal to two different Clients of the same CRM system. For this we made a copy of Business Packages Folder under Content Provided by SAP>Specialist>CRM.In the Copied folder we then replaced the value 'SAP_CRM' with the System Name i gave for new Client using Multi Proprety Replacement.Everything is working fine now except the value Help.
When I login using the User Id mapped with the CRM user in 2nd Client(Which uses Copied BP) and when i press the Value help icon it throws a run time error:
An exception occurred while processing a request for :
iView : N/A
Component Name : N/A
Access denied (Object(s): portal_content/com.sap.pct/specialist/com.sap.pct.crm/com.sap.pct.crm.roles/com.sap.pct.crm.core.defaultservices/com.sap.pct.crm.core.valuehelp).
Exception id: 02:31_11/09/06_0109_16423550
See the details for the exception ID in the log file
i've assigned the Copied Default CRM services ROle for this Id and even then it does not work.
But when i login using the Portal ID which is mapped to CRM user in 1st Client(Which uses original BP) Value help is working fine.
Has anyone faced similar issue previously.
Do i need to anything other than Multi Proprety Replacement for this Case.
Can someone help me out on this.
Thanks and regards,
Vijaya Sai.V

Hi Vijaya,
we have also the same requirements.
Have you found now a solution for this problem?
Thanks in advance.

Value help does not work for ONE person only !

Hi,
we have a strange problem. In the Web IC, we are using a standard value help for the country field for a Business Partner. This works fine for everyone (ie, it picks up the country and slots it into the field) except one person. For her, it never returns any value into the country field. We are guessing that it's not Web IC related but is something in her browser settings etc...but haven't been able to pin it down. Can anyone offer any advice on this ?
thanks for looking.
Malcolm.

Hello Malcolm,
If this error occurs for one user only it's definitely related to the clients PC.
Did you already delete all temporary files and the cookies on that PC? Usually this does the trick!
If this does not solve the problem, try to let that particular user login on another PC where the problem does not occur. (If the error does occur on another PC too it's probably profile/authorization related)
Hope this helps!

Joost

OVS Value help with a preallocate value

Hi everybody,
i use a OVS Value Help whitch contains one field and a button for search.
Now i want to preallocate this field with a default value and execute the search automatically when the OVS View appears.
How can i do it?
Regards,
Sid
Edited by: Sid on Nov 7, 2011 1:05 PM

Hi Sid,
You can set default value to the field in value help within the method applyInputValues() and within this method, call onQuery() method which contains the logic for fetching the search results. Please find below the sample code for applyInputValues():
public void applyInputValues(IWDNodeElement applicationNodeElement, IWDNodeElement queryInputNodeElement)
     // On clicking Value help pop-up icon, get all the records from database
     wdContext.nodeDemoOutput().invalidate();
     queryInputNodeElement.setAttributeValue(IDemoInputElement.NAME, "<default_value>");
     onQuery(queryInputNodeElement, wdContext.nodeDemoOutput());
Hope this helps.

How do you use user defined error messages in Value Help?

Hi,
I'm currently working on a Modifiable Value Help Selector in Web Dynpro Java, and I want to use a user defined error message when I validate the values entered by a user. Currently, it's returning its default error message ("Character <string> does not match...").
Since the project requires a different error message, is there a way to override the default error message and use my defined error message instead?
Thanks!

Hi Angelo,
I am not sure why message area is showing both Custom and inbuilt messages but you can try the following:
i guess you must be using reportContextAttribute exception for showing Error messages on the input fields as well.in that case you can disable the message area so messages will appear only on the Context level ie; on input fields.
For other messages apart from validation messages you can enable the message area before reporting the exception.
make sure the boolean context variable which will be used for enabling and disabling the message area should have Readonly property set as true.
I am not sure whether this is the only solution for this but you can try and see if it works.

Is it possible to use wildcards to match cell contents in an if statement?

I need to return a ID along with some other information on a page by page basis, so that the information comes out linked by position. I use a couple of loops and if statements to navigate through the document. I am able to use exact matches of cell contents which is fine when the contents doesn't vary. But the IDs, though they have a similar pattern, are all different. In a menu driven search, I am able to find what I need with '150^9^9^9^9^9-^9^9^9' But when I try putting this (or any number of [0-9], *, ? combinations) it fails. Is it possible to use wildcards? The symbol used for the match (==) makes me suspect that it is not possible and that only literal, exact matches will work. But I wanted to check with the experts before giving up.
Thanks
pcbaz

Thanks for the input. You're right, a GREP search is much more efficient. But what I'm trying to do and the circumstances here don't allow me, I think, to go that route. I am trying to generate a list of values coming from several textframes on a single page and have them come out so that I can tell which values belong together.
I'm using an inherited document with masters that were created 'manually'; the index numbering for textframes and tables is random. I navigate through the pages, looping through textframe indices asking ' does this textframe exist?' If so, I ask if it is a table -- if no, it is a simple textframe and I ask about the ID, if yes, I ask if the contents of cell (0,0) (invariant position and contents) are equal to the table I want.. I am sending the ID and other pieces of information from the table to one row of a new table on a new page. So the ID and other information from a single page are linked by being in the same row.
I know this a little 'off-normal' -- I'm using the search to navigate through the document and find things by location the way you do with a spreadsheet. I have devised a work-around that helps me get around the fact that the ID is not invariant. I create a list of the (exact) IDs from another document, equating them to a variable ('a'). I then loop through the list of IDs and ask if the contents of the textframe is equal to 'a'..This works o.k, unless there happens to be an extra space, a different kind of hyphen, etc. It would be so much easier if I could use the wildcards that work in a menu-driven text or GREP search in script just to ask about the contents of the textframe.
Thanks again
pcbaz (Peter BIerly)
P.S. we have since rewritten the masters so this problem will not exist in the future -- we now know exactly which textframe and/or table indices to refer to to get any particular bits of information and don't need to ask questions about the contents.

SSIS and Secured FTP Commands to GET a Remote File using wildcards

So my biggest caveat here is dealing with wildcards! For the life of me I cannot find any good examples of SSIS and scripting that uses FTP wildcards to GET certain Files. In a nutshell, here's what I need to do...
Query a SQL Server Database which has a parsed File Name, the first 50 characters of the file name.
The Query "Result Set" is put into an Object Variable User::SQLServerFileList
I then utilize a "Foreach Loop Container" which reads the User::SQLServerFileList and puts it into Variable User::SQLServerFileNm...which is again the first 50 characters of the File Name
Within the "Foreach Loop Container", I then utilize an "Expression Task" which builds a variable User::RemoteFileLookup which is a concatenation of the User::RemoteFolderPath + User::SQLServerFileNm + the wildcard *(Variable
User::RemoteWildCard)
I then try and utilize a "FTP Task" to use that concatenated Variable to go and GET the Filename but every time I try, it does not like what I'm sending via the "FTP Task"
Error: 0x0 at TF Secure FTP Task, ExecuteTask Failed:: Illegal characters in path.
I realize I might have to do something like this via C#.
My biggest challenge is providing the GET Command via the Remote FTP Site with a parsed Filename and utilizing a wildcard.
mc7i1231_20140227_050114_27_05_02_09*.999
And the Filename that exists on the FTP Server is...
mc7i1231_20140227_050114_27_05_02_09_x12_a43419452ca844a9b8a00f61e655dca3.x12-20140303180032.999
Can any gurus out there PLEASE help me out???
Thanks in advance for your review and am hopeful for a reply.
PSULionRP

Hi PSULionRP,
According to the document
FTP Task, we can read that:
The FTP task supports the ? and * wildcard characters in paths. This lets the task access multiple files. However, you can use wildcard characters only in the part of the path that specifies the file name. For example, C:\MyDirectory\*.txt is a valid
path, but C:\*\MyText.txt is not.
So, when you use expression tobuild the variable RemoteFolderPath, make sure the evaluated value of the expression conforms to the above rule.

Using wildcards in import statement

I typically use wildcards in my import statements. For example:
import javax.swing.*;
Are there any advantages, though, in specifying exactly which classes I am importing?
For example,
import javax.swing.JPanel;
import javax.swing.JLabel;
import javax.swing.JEditorPane;
import java.swing.JProgressBar;
// etc.
Specigically, is the resulting class file any smaller if I specify exactly which classes to use and does the Java runtime engine load faster if I specify exactly which classes I use in the import statemetents?
Thanks,

Import has precisely zero runtime impact. I believe it is used to help locate the specified class at runtime. Take the following 2 simple source files:
import java.util.Vector;
//import java.util.*;
public class VectorTest
     public static void main( String[] args )
          Vector v = new Vector();
          v.add("Item 1");
          v.add("Item 2");
          System.out.println( v.get(1) );
public class Vector
     public boolean add(Object o)
          return true;
     public Object get(int index)
          return "doh!";
}1) Run the code as is and "Item 2" is displayed
2) Recompile the code using the generic import and "doh!" is displayed.
The point is that by fully qualifying the import statement you are sure you are executing the correct class and not just some class that happens to be lying around somewhere in your classpath.

Custom Error Message in Value Help

Hi,
In my application i have a Inputfield called "CLASS", for which i have added a value help..it has these values
B    Business
E    Economy
F    First Class
When the user enters a value(say "X") other than B, E, and F, it displays a message
<b>String "X" does not match the enumeration</b>
I want to put my own message like " Please enter a valid value" instead of the above message.
Please let me know how to do this ?
Thanks
Senthil

Senthil,
First, "looping through the list and checking the user entered value with values in the list" is possible only with non-validating actions. Using non-validating actions is a tricky task in real life.
Second, workarounds are possible, but they involves calculated attributes (like here: /people/valery.silaev/blog/2005/11/29/800format-your-way). Solving this problem generically (45 attributes is a good number to start with a generic solution) will result in solution with complexity comparable to this: https://weblogs.sdn.sap.com/pub/wlg/3309. [original link is broken] [original link is broken] [original link is broken] [original link is broken] [original link is broken] Do you need such thing just to alter error message?

How to use cfloop index value as part of another variable

Hello,
I have a RATE form that first asks "how many rates will you
be adding?" that answer generates a series of form elements based
on the answer. You then have a form grid to populate, 3 values for
each rate (price, code, name).
This part works fine. The issue is now I need to INSERT the
values into the table, so I need to use the INDEX value of the
cfloop to recreate the amount (and names) of the fields in the
INSERT statement. How do I escape, or re-create the evaluated form
elements ( in which their count is #i# as the loop goes) when I
need to evaluate for #i# AND evaluate for #form.sku_i_name# at the
same pass?
I am passing, for example, #form.sku_2_Name# where that might
equal "Half Page". The number 2 in that variable was assigned
during the form creation by the current index of a cfloop. Since my
action (insert) page does not know how many (out of 50 possible)
sku's are coming, how do I use the skuCount (another hidden value
passed as well) to create a proper INSERT SQL command when I need
to eval the form element and the index at the same time?
Obviously #sku_#i#_Name# does not work, and #sku_i_Name# does
not either... I know this can be done, and that I am just doing it
wrong.
Thanks for any help!

how it works
As all three of us indicated you use array notation for this
type of
requirement. In ColdFusion you can use array notation or dot
notation
to access structure data. Almost all data in ColdFusion is
now some
type of structure.
I.E. #Form['myField']# is the same as #Form.myField#.
The advantage is that with array notation you can do things
you can not
do with dot notation. You can reference elements that have
keys that
are illegal variable names such as one with a space.
I.E. #url['my field'] is allowed, #url.my field# would fail
or course.
And you can concatenate the key string as we did with your
example.
I.E. #Form['aString' & aVariable]#
There are many powerful things one can do with this
knowledge. One can
access record sets with array notations. This can allow for
very
sophisticated parsing of a record set.
I.E. #myQuery['column'][row]#
You can dynamical call a variable. Thus creating dynamic code
that does
not even need to know what variables exist until run time.
I.E. #variables[anyName]#
This just scratches the surface.
