Validation to avoid special character in material & vendor no

Hi Experts,
We receive material & vendor creation request through E-portal. Once user send request on portal it gets recorde at its backend i.e MDM
Please guide me how to give validation in MDM to avoid special character '*' ',' '&' 'space' in material no. & incase of vendor code these same character & numeric code is not allowed.
Please guide in deatail step by step procedure.

Hi Gaurang,
How to give validation in MDM to avoid special character '' ',' '&' 'space' in material no. & incase of vendor code these same character & numeric code is not allowed*
For this, you can write two validations one for Material number and other for Vendor Code and need to set both of these validations to Automatic Execution = Error
Expression for Material No as given below:
IF(FIND(Material No, "*") OR FIND(Material No, ",") OR FIND(Material No, "&") OR FIND(Material No, " ") , FALSE, TRUE)
Expression for Vendor Code as given below:
IF(FIND(Vendor Code, "*") OR FIND(Vendor Code, ",") OR FIND(Vendor Code, "&") OR FIND(Vendor Code, " ") , FALSE, TRUE)
So both above validations will fail if they find any Special character among Asterisk ("*"), Ampersand ("&"), Space (" ") and Comma (","). Kindly revert with result.

Special character Validation: error

HI Guys,
I wrote a validation to restict the use of special chracters.
Its a formula based validation, both REAL TIME and BATCH, on the Node.
HasCharacters(Custom.EPMA_Alias, ["]).
However, when I go to put an Alias on a member, it tells me there is a special character in this, but there is not.
I also tried HasCharacters(PropValueCustom.EPMA_Alias0, ["]) with same results.
I also need to add the following characters:
|
Thank you for all your help!.

Hi,
DRM will not support the syntax ["], instead try somethinug like this for your validation logic-
And(
Equals(Integer,Length(PropValue(Custom.Prop)),Length(ReplaceStr(PropValue(Custom.Prop),|,,T))),
Equals(Integer,Length(PropValue(Custom.Prop)),Length(ReplaceStr(PropValue(Custom.Prop),",,T))),
Equals(Integer,Length(PropValue(Custom.Prop)),Length(ReplaceStr(PropValue(Custom.Prop),%,,T))),
Equals(Integer,Length(PropValue(Custom.Prop)),Length(ReplaceStr(PropValue(Custom.Prop),*,,T)))

Material master with special character

I want to create material master starting with special character eg #1234 but system gives a error message as
"not defined for material type Finished products"
Where could be the issue.

What special character do you want?
your special character is probably beyond ZZZZZ in the numenclature of characters.
enter you special character instead of the Zs in the number range definition and try again.

How to create security character validation to avoid automated programs

Hi All,
I am developing a web page for creating user accounts. I would like to do the security character validation to avoid the misuse from automated programs.
This is what you may have seen on all popular web pages where you are asked to enter a scrambled set of characters into a text field before submitting your request.
Please provide any samples or direct me where I can get some help on this.
Your help is greatly appreciated.
TIA,
CK

Why look for samples when u can can use ur own logic and thinking ?
My approach ...
1) Create a lot of scambled images having alphabets like 'rhoit' , 'rohit' ..
File naming convention should be same as the text. Ex: rhoit.jpg, rohit.jpg ...
2) Add the images names into a table and then populate a HashMap / ArrayList containing the image names
3) Randomly pick some artibitrary element from the Arraylist and display the corresponding image in the create user accounts page.
3) Compare the image name with the inputed text value for a match. The expected value should be set in request parameter.
4) Handle the success/failure condition.
I hope that should work fine.
Regards

Special Character Validation and Reset Focus

Hi All,
I have developed an Webdynpro JAVA Application which carries many input Fields.
Client side Validations needs to be handled for Special Character Restriction for each of the Fields.
Validation handled through OnEnter or OnChange Events of a Particular Field shows the exception but clicking other fields made the exception ignored.
My Requirement goes this way.
field1
field2
field n
Validation Button
On click of Validation button exception should be raised for all the Fields that has invalid Characters .
It Should be displayed in Message Area( Using MessageManager) which should carry Field Name causing the Exception. On clicking the Exception it should take the Cursor the Erroneous Field.
Kindly share the Methods of any standard Interface which does this job or customized methods if any?
Best Regards,

I had the same problem here and the only solution I found, was to turn of the validation using the setValidationMode member function of ClassGenerator.

Problem with special Character & in Proxy

Hi,
We have a File --> XI --> R/3 Scenario. In this scenario, from XI we are passing the data to R/3 by calling the Proxy. When the data in the file has special character like & (for example <Companyname>Dave&Busters</Companyname>), it is failing in R/3. But if I replace "&" with "&" in the file it works fine. Is there any solution to this problem without writting custom code in XI to replace & with &.
Thanks
Sudheer

>But if I replace "&" with "&" in
> the file it works fine. Is there any solution to this
> problem without writting custom code in XI to replace
> & with &.
No. If the sender of the message provides an XML format with an unescaped &, then the XML is not valid and therefore cannot be processed.
All adapters (IDOC, RFC, File with content conversion) perform the escaping and deescaping.

How to insert special character in sgm file and interprete it without isoents while opening in FM9.0

I have an sgm file which contains special characters in different languages.
<!DOCTYPE MANUAL PUBLIC "-//SWE-XXX//DTD XXX MANUAL-DTD 2.0//EN">
<MANUAL LANG="CS">
<TITEL>
Polish characters: óê¿ñæÑÆÊ¥Ó£
Czech characters: éìóïáøèíùòú&Og rave;ÌÉÓÚÙÈØÍÁÏ aacute: á</TITEL>
</MANUAL>
Is there any way to insert special character directly in sgm file, so that it won't have to be interpreted by isoents mapping rules?
isoent.rwr interpretes oacute as:
entity "oacute" is fm char 0x00F3;
But I would like to use 0x00F3 directly in fm file, so that if any additional character is needed - I won't have to update isoent files
I've tested already:
ó
&x00F3;
&0x00F3;
but with no luck
Is there anyone who could help me with it?
I will really appreciate your help
/Joanna

Hi Michael. Thank you for your reply.
There is no declaration within sgm file itself - but while opening the file I use sgml application definition with the following settings:
Default API client: FmTranslator
SGML character encoding: ISO Latin1
XML character encoding: UTF-8
Namespace: Enable
CSS2 Preferences:
Generate CSS2: Disable
Add Fm CSS Attribute To XML: Disable
Retain Stylesheet Information: Disable
Entity locations
Entity search paths
C:\Program Files\Adobe\FrameMaker9\Structure\sgml\isoents
So as you can see, character encoding is set to ISO Latin1 (there is no way to use UTF-8 encoding in sgml files)
Typing ź or ć in sgm document and opening it with framemaker sgml application - I receive: ¿æ and message: "Non-SGML character found; should have been character reference"
Everything works fine when I type f.ex.: &x016B; and insert appropriate reference lines into isolat1.rw and isolat1.ent files
But what I would like to avoid is editing those isoent files each time new character is be needed.

Special Character in Filename script - how do I escape it.

Hello All. I'm attempting to call a file in sqlplus on a linux box. The file name has a special character.
ex: i$_my_script.sql
I've attempted to use
@i$_my_script.sql
@i\$_my_script.sql
@i\\$_my_script.sql
@"i$_my_script.sql"
@'i$_my_script.sql'
@'i\$_my_script.sql'
All to no avail. I could have sworn I'd called a similar file with $ in the filename before but now I can't get it to work. Preference would be to no have a special character in the filename ... but the file is coming in from a source I don't have control over. I could rename the file but the file resides in a source control system and I'd prefer not to have to rename it every time I want to compile it.
Thanks in advance.
edit<<Also as a note I can see the file in sqlplus by sending ls to the command line as follows:
SQL> ! ls i\$_my_script.sql
which returns
i$_my_script.sql
Edited by: Kennedy on Sep 6, 2011 1:25 PM

another workaround for the same is use double slash \ \ before special character to avoid such issue

How to avoid special stock indicator for intercompany sales transitions.

Hi Friends
I have an issue Intercompany sales .if I enter intercompany plant(Delivering plant) in the sales order system is taking special stock indicator and looking for sales order stock.
If I enter company code plant for sales from unrestricted stock, system is not taking special stock indicator.
Please advice how to avoid special stock indicator for intercompany sales transitions.
Thanks in advance.
SRK

Ravi,
Special stock is generally determined by the MRP strategy group in the material master of the plant against which you place your order. The strateg(ies) contained in the strategy group will determine the SO requirements type, which will in turn determine whether or not the order is 'account assigned' (special stock).
It is normal to only have one strategy contained in a strategy group. However (and I seldom recommend this) SAP will support multiple strategies within one strategy group. In this case, you could have both MTS and MTO orders against the same plant/material, by manually altering the requirements type in the sales order. This scenario is usually difficult for a planner, and involves additional manual attention to make everything work.
I suggest that your first avenue is to change the Strategy group in the material master of the delivering plant to one that supports MTS. This has a big impact in Controlling and in Production Planning, so ensure that all affected functional groups are aware of what you are doing, and of the resulting changes that they will experience. The transition from MTO to MTS must be carefully controlled.
If you are not a PP expert, I suggest you consult with your local PP expert before embarking on this change.

SOAP Adapter - Error because of special character (u00FC - Umlaut) in payload

Hello,
We have a SOAP sync scenario.
SAP -> PI 7.0 -> 3rd Party system
We have a special character (ü - Umlaut) as part of the payload.
When the message enters message pipeline in PI, I can see the payload XML till message branching step.
From Message mapping step, i get the message - "The XML page cannot be displayed. An invalid character was found in text content" in SXMB_MONI.
In communication channel monitoring, I see the following error:
SOAP: error occured: com.sap.aii.af.ra.ms.api.RecoverableException: Parsing Error: com.sap.engine.lib.xml.parser.NestedSAXParserException: Fatal Error: com.sap.engine.lib.xml.parser.ParserException: Unsupported character: 72(:main:, row:2, col:2106)(:main:, row=2, col=2106) -> com.sap.engine.lib.xml.parser.ParserException: Unsupported character: 72(:main:, row:2, col:2106): java.io.IOException: Parsing Error: com.sap.engine.lib.xml.parser.NestedSAXParserException: Fatal Error: com.sap.engine.lib.xml.parser.ParserException: Unsupported character: 72(:main:, row:2, col:2106)(:main:, row=2, col=2106) -> com.sap.engine.lib.xml.parser.ParserException: Unsupported character: 72(:main:, row:2, col:2106)
But, when I pass the same message(with special character) to the 3rd party system using SOAP UI, i get a valid response back.
So, what is going wrong in PI?
Thanks,
Chandra

Hi Gouri,
you are right. My message is successful in SXMB_MONI, and the error is coming from comm channel monitoring with deliverin to target.
My sender is a proxy, and we can not specify any encoding in proxy sender.
I did not specify any encoding in SOAP Receiver aswell.
This is the sequence in comm channel monitoring:

Display special character on web page

Hello,
Is it possible to display the special character < or > in a bsp page ?
I try to do it but it seams to be interpreted as HTML and nothing is printed.
In material description in purchase requisition we have < material desc > and I would like to show this in a tableview.
For the moment I delete the special character in a string variable but it does'nt correspond to my need.
Thanks for your help
Véronique.

Hello,
You could try something with special characters :
e.g. this code
&#171 material &#187
produces this output
« material »
Best regards,
Dirk.
