An issue about queues and context

Hi all
I have a value form one queue with some context and I want to add the same context to another queue
I have this starting point in the first queuecwith context after each number
30

100
100
100
100
100
100
The color indicate the context change.
I want to give the same context of the first queue to the second queue because I am mapping one to one field into the target node.
The second queue is longer than the first one but that is ok as long as I can get the first value to right context of the first queue
Thanks

HI again
Do I have to use the format by key insted of changing the context.
I have tried but I am getting this error
formatByExample: Queues do not have the same number of values] in class com.sap.aii.mappingtool.flib7.NodeFunctions method
It is quit a copmlex mapping , I do not think I can use format by key.
any idea how to change the context
Thanks

Contexts and queues problem

Hello Sdn
I am stuck with an issue.
I have a queue udf ,it takes in value and while placing in target ,it is placing the values in target segment.
eg :
Current output:
PO1
MSG
10
MSG
20
MSG
30
MSG
40
Required output
PO1
MSG
10
MSG
20
PO1
MSG
30
MSG
40
The mapping is : Source-> QUEUE UDF-> Target
IS this a context issue or something needs to be changed in the udf.
Thanks

HI
Change the context of PO1 and MSG to PO1 parent node. and try again.
Right click on each node and use display queue this will show you after changing the context what's changing. Check like this
Thanks

Remove context and split by value.

Hi Friends,
                        the SAP Library seems to bge a bit tough for me. Any url where I can find easy definition to Remove context and split by value , with exampl!!
Thanks in advance!!

Use context to pass value between JPF and Java Control

hi,
Can we use context to pass value between JPF and Java Control? It works if i m using InitialContext in the same machine but i dun think it will works if i put Web server and application server in different machine. Anyone have an idea how to do it?
I also want to get the method name in the onAcquire callback method. Anyone knows how to do this?
thks

Hi.
Yoy can the next options for make this:
1. Pass your values in http request.
example: http://localhost/index.jsp?var1=value1&var2=value2&var3....
2. You can use a no visible frame (of height or width 0) and keep your variables and values there using Javascript, but of this form, single you will be able to check the values in the part client, not in the server. Of this form, the values of vars are not visible from the user in the navigation bar.

What is Context and queue?

Q.1What is context and queue in graphical mapping?
Q.2What is the difference between context and queue in graphical mapping and how these concepts are useful in mapping?

Hi,
Context Change
Message mapping works internally by using queues
If no further elements are imported at a particular hierarchy level, a Context Change is inserted in the queue
Use node functions to handle changes in the message hierarchy.
Context changes have impact on:
User-Defined Functions
Breaking and inserting of hierarchy levels Manipulation of queues ant contexts
Explicit context selection on source elements and nodes
Using node functions
removeContexts: deletes all context changes of a queue
SplitByValue: insert additional context changes in a queue
Check this link for all details.

Difference between Context and Queue in UDF

hi,
i am trying to write udf but i have doubt when do i select Contect and when do i select Queue as my udf ? How do we decide which one i select ?
Thanks & Regards
Naveen

when u go 4 advanced udf functionalites u need this. for simple udf not req to play with queue nor context. the input when using a context or queue will be an array of strings but in simple udf's it is just a single string that u will be accessing. u can also check here:

Rebate: Differ "Scale Base Value" between "Statistics" and "Billing Doc"

Dear SD Expert,
After I go with Transaction Code :"VOB3" (run report RV15B002), I found that "Scale Base Value" have different value between "Statistics" and "Billing Doc". And the correct value is "Billing Doc". However, the value which shows in my rebate condition now is "Statistic". Thus, my question is
How can I configure my rebate condition based on "Billing Doc" Value instead of "Statistic"? (I don't want to "Correct backlogs" anytime in changing scales based value.) Anyone please feel free in suggestion.
Thanks,
Prach

Pb of Mapping and Context

Hy everybody
I'm lost in one of my mapping.
Inbound :

</a>
I don't manage to reach it.
Thanks in advance

Hi,
Are you able to get atleast one element under
<C>
   <b></b>
</C>
If so ,make use of Remove context and SplitByValue functions here to achieve this.
Check this -
/people/sravya.talanki2/blog/2005/12/08/message-mapping-simplified-150-part-ii
Also you can see the runtime values thru Display Queue in the message Mapping(Repository)
Hope this helps,

Generic UDF to handle empty contexts and contexts with missing fields

Hi,
I have been trying to get my head around a UDF for this for a while, but cannot find the solution. I''l start by showing input structure, and expected target structure (subset of an invoice IDoc with 4 line items):
SOURCE:
E1EDK01 (0..1)
E1EDP01
---POSEX = 1
---E1EDP05
KOTXT (qualifier) = Z1
BETRG (amount) = 200,00
---E1EDP05
KOTXT = Z2
BETRG = 300,00
---E1EDP19...
E1EDP01
---POSEX = 2
---E1EDP05
KOTXT = Z1
---E1EDP05
KOTXT = Z2
BETRG = 400,00
---E1EDP19...
E1EDP01
---POSEX = 3
---E1EDP05
KOTXT = Z2
BETRG = 500,00
---E1EDP19...
E1EDP01
---POSEX = 4
---E1EDP19...
TARGET:
Line
---PosId = 1
---Price = 200.00
Line
---PosId = 2
---Price = N/A
Line
---PosId = 3
---Price = N/A
Line
---PosId = 4
---Price = N/A
I want the price from E1EDP05/BETRG where KOTXT = Z1to be set for each line. As you can see the source structure can be split in 4 cases:
1. for some line items there exist multiple E1EDP05-segments with one of them qualifier Z1 and one corresponding amount field. This is the "perfect" structure and easy to handle.
2. some line items contains E1EDP05 with qualifier Z1 with no BETRG. Problem-case
3. some line items contains no E1EDP05-segments with qualifier Z1, but contains other E1EDP05-segments. Can be solved.
4. some line items contains no E1EDP05-segments at all. Can be solved.
I need to (I believe) set the context of the KOTXT and BETRG to E1EDP01 since I want one value per line item, irrespective of how many E1EDP05-segments exist per line item. In cases where no value can be found for relevant qualifier (Z1) or no E1EDP05-segments exist for a line item I want a default value to be set (N/A).
My problem is that all these different cases might occur in the same file, and they mess up the values in each context, leading to wrong BETRG to be picked in some cases (where case 2 exist) since mapWithDefault cannot be used (context contains value for other qualifier).
Do you know how to handle all these cases?
Any pseudo-code for an UDF?
Many thanks for your help!
Br,
Kenneth

Hi Shweta!
Thanks a lot, your idea didn't completely solve my problem, but pointed me in the right direction and gave me some valuable ideas:)
For anyone wondering how it is done, I solved it by using your suggested two inputs, along with a third input (constant) which functions as default value for contexts where value-field is missing for a specific qualifier, or in case no segments with desired qualifier exists for a context.
My mapping now looks like the following (where KOTXT is qualifier and KRATE is value field) for the 3 inputs:
KOTXT(Context = E1EDP01) \
                            equalsS -->
Constant(qualifier value) /
KOTXT(Context = E1EDP05) \
                            equalsS \
Constant(qualifier value) /            ifWithoutElse --> removeContexts -->
           KRATE (Context = E1EDP05) /
Constant(default value) -->
Then these 3 inputs goes into the following UDF (queue function):
int j=0;
boolean contextDone = false;
for(int i=0;i<a.length;i++)
     if(a<i>.equals("true"))
          if(b[j].equals(ResultList.SUPPRESS))
               result.addValue(c[0]);
          else
               result.addValue(b[j]);
          contextDone = true;
          j=j+1;
     if(a<i>.equals(ResultList.CC))
          if (contextDone)
               contextDone = false;
               result.addValue(ResultList.CC);
          else
               result.addValue(c[0]);
               result.addValue(ResultList.CC);
This results in a target node created for each context, where context relates to each line item in this case, where each value is either a default value or the value corresponding to the qualifier. This works in all cases where:
1. there are no segments containing relevant qualifier
2. there are segments with relevant qualifier, but missing value field
3. there are segments with relevant qualifier and value field
Thanks a lot again, Shweta, for guiding me!

User-Defined Function and Context Manipulation

Hi Mapping Gurus, I need your help.
I have a user-defined function and one of my input parameter (c) is in a loop (EDI segment). So one, if I execute my function I get:
Exception:[java.lang.ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException: 0]
If I change the context or use the remove context node function its working but its always taking the first row in consideration since I'm using c[0] . Here is the logic:
String WHERE_CLAUSE = "A"" = ""'"b[0]"'"" and B = ""'"c[0]"'";
So since c is an array [], I have tried different logic to get to the right row.
1- I tried using another parameter (e) to pass a counter or an index to my function. So each time it's looping, it's passing a new value to the function but Im still getting the first row and Im not to sure why?
int G = Integer.parseInt(e[0]); // e[] = My counter field
String WHERE_CLAUSE = "A"" = ""'"b[0]"'"" and B = ""'"c[G]"'";
2- I tried using a parameter stored in the container:
String Num;
Num = (String)getParameter(counter);
if (Num == null) G = 0;
else
G = Integer.parseInt(Num);
G = G + 1;
String WHERE_CLAUSE = "A"" = ""'"b[0]"'"" and B = ""'"c[G]"'";
Num = "" + G;
setParameter(e[0], Num);
and Im still getting the first one, look like its using a different container each time its looping so the Value is always the same?
4- I created a new user-defined function with the container logic, then its working but Im back to the same problem in my main function, its only looking at e[0] for my counter all the time.
5- I tried using the Seeburger Java Variables and guess what in the main fonction, as new UDF,... and guess what, same result!
So anybody out there that was able to get UDF's working into a multiple context scenario?
Am I missing something?
I will reward points and beer for any help!

This is one of the text with passing a counter to the function to try to go to the right row in the array since I'm doing a remove context and I'm getting all the d_234's:
public void ReadTable(String[] a,String[] b,String[] c,String[] d,String[] e,ResultList result,Container container){
int G = Integer.parseInt(e[0]); // My counter
String var;
String DBTABLE = a[0];
String lookUpField = d[0];
String WHERE_CLAUSE = "A"" = ""'"b[0]"'"" and B = ""'"c[G]"'";
Now this one was with the internal container logic:
int G;
String DBTABLE = a[0];
String lookUpField = d[0];
String Num;
Num = (String)getParameter(e[0]);
if (Num == null) G = 0;
else
G = Integer.parseInt(Num);
G = G + 1;
Num = "" + G;
setParameter(e[0], Num);
String WHERE_CLAUSE = "A"" = ""'"b[0]"'"" and B = ""'"c[G]"'";
And now with the Seeburger Variables:
int G;
try {
VariableBean be=VariableFactory.getVariableInstance("");
G = Integer.parseInt(String.valueOf(be.getStringVariable("yves")));
} catch (Exception f) {
throw new RuntimeException(f);
String DBTABLE = a[0];
String lookUpField = d[0];
String WHERE_CLAUSE = "A"" = ""'"b[0]"'"" and B = ""'"c[G]"'";
try {
G = G + 1;
Num = "" + G;
VariableBean be=VariableFactory.getVariableInstance("");
be.setStringVariable("yves",Num);
catch (Exception f) {
throw new RuntimeException(f);
All 3 logics were returning always the first row or a counter of 1 if the logic is in the main ReadTable function.

Converting a delete statement using VPD policies and context

Hello,
I'm trying to convert a delete statement in a update statement using VPD policies and context.

No rows has been deleted, but the update stmt does not work. That means, the "deleted" flag has not been updated.
Any ideas?
Thank you in advance.

The policy function is applied once per statement execution. The policy function executes first and the UPDATE statement, presumably, updates no rows because the context is not yet populated. The row-level populates the context (I'm assuming that your session can even see context values populated by an autonomous transaction-- I would guess it could but I'd have to test that) after the UPDATE statement is already complete. The COMMIT in the row-level trigger is also pointless-- it only applies to changes made by the current autonomous transaction, of which there are none-- it cannot apply to changes made in other autonomous transactions. Declaring the row-level trigger to use autonomous transactions doesn't seem to accomplish anything other than to open the question of whether the values set in the context by the autonomous transaction are visible in the caller's transaction.
Even if this, somehow, did work, using autonomous transactions would be a very bad idea since Oracle is free to roll-back a partially executed statement (and the work done by its triggers) and re-execute it. Oracle does that with some regularity to maintain write consistency.

Need help with XML response to refresh document with context and prompts

I've been working with the Restful api for a few weeks now and have been able to figure out most of what I need to automate testing of our reports. However, one task that I have not been able to figure out is how to refresh a document that contains both a context and two prompts for dates.
Here is what I have tried, and what the API responds with.
1) I queried the API for this document's parameters using the following call after logging in -
headers = {:accept=>'application/xml', :content_type=>'application/xml', :x_sap_logontoken=>@token}
url = "http://our.url.net:6405/biprws/raylight/v1/documents/12345/parameters"
RestClient.get(url, headers)
The response from the API is:
<parameters>
    <parameter dpId="DP0" type="context" optional="false">
        <id>0</id>
        <technicalName>cQuery 1</technicalName>
        <name>Select a context</name>
        <answer type="Text" constrained="true">
            <info cardinality="Single">
                <lov partial="false">
                    <values>
                        <value id="CTX_1">LOAN</value>
                        <value id="CTX_9">LOAN_APPLICATION</value>
                    </values>
                </lov>
                <values>
                    <value id="CTX_1">LOAN</value>
                    <value id="CTX_9">LOAN_APPLICATION</value>
                </values>
                <previous>
                    <value id="CTX_9">LOAN_APPLICATION</value>
                </previous>
            </info>
            <values>
                <value id="CTX_9">LOAN_APPLICATION</value>
            </values>
        </answer>
    </parameter>
</parameters>
2) This tells me I need to supply a context, so I then replace my RestClient.get call with a RestClient.put call with the following payload:
<parameters>
     <parameter>
            <id>0</id>
            <answer>
                  <values>
                        <value id=\"CTX_9\"/>
                  </values>
            </answer>
      </parameter>
</parameters>
3) This satisfies the context portion of the refresh. The API replies with the following response, telling me I need to answer two prompts -
<parameters>
     <parameter dpId=\"DP0\" type=\"prompt\" optional=\"false\">
          <id>1</id>
          <technicalName>psEnter value(s) for Start Date of Application Received Date</technicalName>
          <name>Enter value(s) for Start Date of Application Received Date</name>
           <answer type=\"DateTime\" constrained=\"false\">\
                <info cardinality=\"Single\"/>
           </answer>
     </parameter>
     <parameter dpId=\"DP0\" type=\"prompt\" optional=\"false\">
            <id>2</id>
            <technicalName>psEnter value for End Date of Application Received Date</technicalName>
            <name>Enter value for End Date of Application Received Date</name>\
            <answer type=\"DateTime\" constrained=\"false\">
                <info cardinality=\"Single\"/>
            </answer>
      </parameter>
</parameters>
4) Here is where I am having problems. I have tried all kinds of permutations of the below payload/response body. All I ever get from the API is a 400 - BadResponse error.
<parameters>
     <parameter>
          <id>0</id>
          <answer>
               <values>
                    <value id=\"CTX_9\"/>
               </values>
          </answer>
     </parameter>
</parameters>
<parameters>
     <parameter type=\"prompt\">
          <id > 1 </ id>
          <answer type=\"DateTime\">
               <values>
                    <value>2012-06-11T09:50:54.000-04:00</value>
               </values>
           </answer>
     </parameter>
     <parameter type=\"prompt\">
           <id > 2 </ id>
           <answer type=\"DateTime\">
                <values>
                     <value>2014-07-11T09:50:54.967-04:00</value>
                </values>
           </answer>
     </parameter>
</parameters>
I am not very good with XML and the terminology around it, and I haven't received much training around using the Restful API other than the SDK documentation. I have a feeling there is something very basic that Im missing here. What is the correct XML needed in the response body to properly refresh the document?

If you are more confortable with JSON, Raylight supports it as well.
Best regards,
Anthony
