WLPI, Event Condition XPath and floating pt values

The documentation (Ch 6 specifically) for both WLPI 1.1 and 1.2 refers
to a function ToDouble to be used as the workflow condition:
ToDouble(XPath("/customer/balance_due/text()")) >
ToDouble(XPath("customer/_credit_limit_amount/text()")) * .75
This function does not appear to implemented and is not available in the
Workflow Studio. I am able to route documents to specific workflows
based on integer and string values, but cannot get routing on
non-integer values to work.
(ToInteger(.....) > 100.00 does not work either)
Has anybody gotten this to work ?

I believe that you are correct... I would contact Technical Support and file this
(i.e., the ToXXX(XPath("...")) stuff) as a bug.

I don't think you can you use workflow variables within for the Condition on a
Start action, can you ? I don't think that the variables are evaluated until
the workflow has begun, but the workflow doesn't begin unless the Condition is
met. (catch 22)
Robert Patrick wrote:
One of the problems that I have seen in the past was that these ToXXX()
functions did not work properly if the argument was an XPath expression. I
could get them to work if I split them into two expressions and used a
workflow variable to store the intermediate result, i.e.,
Assign result of XPath("/customer/balance_due/text()") to a workflow
variable of type string, say foo.
Then, use ToXXX(foo) to assign the value to a workflow variable of type
XXX. I thought this was fixed in WLPI 1.2 but it may not have been...
Hope this helps,
Robert

Precision loss - conversions between exact values and floating point values

Hi!
I read this in your SQL Reference manual, but I don't quite get it.
Conversions between exact numeric values (TT_TINYINT, TT_SMALLINT, TT_INTEGER, TT_BIGINT, NUMBER) and floating-point values (BINARY_FLOAT, BINARY_DOUBLE) can be inexact because the exact numeric values use decimal precision whereas the floating-point numbers use binary precision.
Could you please give two examples: one where a TT_TINYINT is converted to a BINARY_DOUBLE and one when a TT_BIGINT is converted into a DOUBLE, both cases give examples on lost precision? This would be very helpful.
Thanks!

Standard Report with Condition Type and Condition Records

Hello to all,
Is there any standard report available in which Condition Type and Condition values are displayed in either column or row format? The selection criteria can be either Quotation, Contract, Sales Order, Delivery, Invoice or Billing. Thanks anyways...

Hi Huzefa,
Pls check the relevant table where the condition records are stored. then do a query with that condition table and KONP. say for eg: condn type ZINV,ZMRP gets stored in condition table A821, then combine A821 and KONP, u can input condition type and get the values........................
go to vk13, display and click on layout, u will able to see the condition table.

Condition control and origin ??

hi,
can any one tell me what does condition origin and condition control ?
what is their significance of them in pricing ?
any examples please
regards
sriram.

Hello,
Here is some useful information on condition control - KSTEU
KSTEU is a very important attribute of a condition. The condition control has two purposes:
a) to record manual changes
b) to control how a condition is handled.
KSTEU is very helpful if you want to reconstruct the history of a condition in a document. The KSTEU of a condition can be changed in various places. The most common case is, that the KSTEU is changed during the copying of the conditions from one document into another. PRICING_COPY is the function where this takes place and it also depends on the pricing type (MODE in PRICING_COPY), the origin of the condition KHERK and the actual value of KSTEU. Please refer to the coding of PRICING_COPY itself for the precise rules. Besides copying conditions there are several other occasions where KSTEU might be changed.
The most common KSTEU value is 'A':
A : Adjust for quantity variance. A condition with a KSTEU = 'A' is recalculated in a normal way. The rate has been automatically determined (e.g. via a condition record). The condition is not fixed at all. Especially when the item quantity is changed, the rate might be adjusted if scales are present. All formulas associated (base value, value etc) are executed the normal way. If a condition is automatically found, A is the normal KSTEU value.
I could go on and explain the other possible values of KSTEU. If you want information on any one specifically, please let me know.
I hope you find this information very helpful and hopefully it will solve your problem.

SQL Query (updateable report) Region - Conditionally Hide and Set Values

SQL Query (updateable report) Region - Conditionally Hide and Set Values
Outline of requirement :-
Master / Detail page with Detail updated on same page using SQL Query (updateable report).
The detail region has the following source
SELECT item_id,
 contract_id,
 CASE WHEN hardware_id IS NOT NULL THEN
 'HA'
 WHEN backup_dev_id IS NOT NULL THEN
 'BD'
 WHEN hardware_os_id IS NOT NULL THEN
 'HS'
 END item_type,
 hardware_id,
 backup_dev_id,
 hardware_os_id
FROM "#OWNER#".support_items
WHERE contract_id = :P26_CONTRACT_IDThe table support_items implements arced relationships and has the following columns
CREATE TABLE SUPPORT_ITEMS
ITEM_ID NUMBER NOT NULL,
CONTRACT_ID NUMBER NOT NULL,
HARDWARE_ID NUMBER,
BACKUP_DEV_ID NUMBER,
HARDWARE_OS_ID NUMBER
)A check type constaint on support_items ensures that only one of the fk's is present.
 ( hardware_id IS NOT NULL
 AND backup_dev_id IS NULL
 AND hardware_os_id IS NULL
OR ( hardware_id IS NULL
 AND backup_dev_id IS NOT NULL
 AND hardware_os_id IS NULL
OR ( hardware_id IS NULL
 AND backup_dev_id IS NULL
 AND hardware_os_id IS NOT NULL
 ) Hardware_Id is a FK to Hardware_Assets
Backup_dev_id is a FK to Backup_Devices
Hardware_os_id is a FK to Hardware_op_systems
The Tabular Form Element based on item_type column of SQL query is Displayed As Select List (based on LOV) referencing a named list of values which have the following properties
Display Value Return Value
Hardware Asset HA
Backup Device BD
Computer System HSThe Tabular Form Elements for the report attributes for hardware_id, backup_dev_id and hardware_os_id are all Displayed As Select List (Based on LOV).
What I want to do is only display the Select List for the FK depending on the value of the Select List on Item Type, e.g.
Item_Type is 'HA' then display Select List for hardware_id, do not display and set to NULL the Select Lists for backup_dev_id and hardware_os_id.
Item_Type is 'BB' then display Select List for backup_dev_id, do not display and set to NULL the Select Lists for hardware_id and hardware_os_id.
Item_Type is 'HS' then display Select List for hardware_os_id, do not display and set to NULL the Select Lists backup_dev_id and hardware_id.
There are properties on elements to conditionally display it but how do we reference the values of the SQL query Updateable region? they are not given a page item name?
Also on the Tabular For Elements there is an Edit tick against a report item - however when you go to the Column Attributes there is not a property with which you can control the Edit setting.
What's the best way of implementing this requirement in APEX 3.1?
Thanks.

Welcome to the forum: please read the FAQ and forum sticky threads (if you haven't done so already), and update your profile with a real handle instead of "user13515136".
When you have a problem you'll get a faster, more effective response by including as much relevant information as possible upfront. This should include:
<li>Full APEX version
<li>Full DB/version/edition/host OS
<li>Web server architecture (EPG, OHS or APEX listener/host OS)
<li>Browser(s) and version(s) used
<li>Theme
<li>Template(s)
<li>Region/item type(s) (making particular distinction as to whether a "report" is a standard report, an interactive report, or in fact an "updateable report" (i.e. a tabular form)
With APEX we're also fortunate to have a great resource in apex.oracle.com where we can reproduce and share problems. Reproducing things there is the best way to troubleshoot most issues, especially those relating to layout and visual formatting. If you expect a detailed answer then it's appropriate for you to take on a significant part of the effort by getting as far as possible with an example of the problem on apex.oracle.com before asking for assistance with specific issues, which we can then see at first hand.
I have a multi-row region that displays values and allows entries in a number of fields.Provide exact details of how this has been implemented. (An example on apex.oracle.com is always a good way to do this.)
I should like the fields to be conditional in that they do not permit entry, but still display, if certain conditions apply (e.g. older rows greyed out). Can this be done? Almost anything can be done, often in multiple ways. Which are appropriate may be dependent on a particular implementation, the skills available to implement it, and the effort you're willing to expend on it. Hence it's necessary to provide full details of what you've done so far...

Alternative condition type and base value

hi
gurus i am very much confused with this
alternative condition type and base value plzz clear me from this confusion
give me with realtime example and tel me in simple way
they will fully rewarded. and also a gud help to me
thanks
srinivask.

Hi
hope it is Alternative Calculation Type and Alternative Condition Base value
if so pls refer below
Alternative Calculation Type:
Normally if you want to calculate a value you have to use a calculation type for determination the value. This calculation type is either addition, subtraction or multiplication. Similarly SAP also has got a default calculation type in the control data of the condition type. There you have the options of either Qty based , Fixed Amount Based or Percentage based.
Here what happens is suppose if you define Your condition type that calculates the base price of a material on Qty based. Then the calculation will be done based on the quantity of the material. If the customer orders 10 Nos and you have maintained a unit price of 100 Rs for each material then the value determined is 1000 INR. Similarly if the discount condition type , you maintain the calculation type as %. This means if you maintain the value of 10 % in the condition record. Then this percentage is taken as the calculation type and the condition value is determined.
In some cases you have to forego the default calculation types and use the customer specific method for calculating a value. For ex if you are calculating the Freight charges for a Material . it depends on so many criteria like, the weight, volume and also the minimum amount etc etc, in those cases, you forego the default value and then use the alternative calculation type in calculating the condition value against the particular condition.

Alternative Condition Base value :
If you have to calculate any value then you have to have a base value for it. For ex if you want to calculate the discount of 10 % for a material then you have to have a base value on which this 10% is calculated. Normally you take the condition value of the base price of the material to calculate the value.
Now you don't want to take the base value and take other values as base value which are derived on some formulae. So you create a routine which will do the mathematical operations in the routine and derive you a value which is now used as the base value for calculating the condition value for a particular condition type

Condition types and value fields

hi Gurus,
Can anybody please explain me what is condidion type and value field and the purpose of these two in costing??
Regards,
S.Sumana

Dear Sumana,
Condition types and Value field conjuction is used in Profitability Analysis.
Condition type is an element in pricing procedure. For e.g price of the product consist of several things like base price, discount, tax, etc. so each compenent is called condition type.
Value fields are grouping of cost elements for e.g. you have created a cost element Sales revenue then all revenue cost elements which consist of revenue.
Condtion type Base Price is revenue which is mapped to value field Sales revenue. So as soon as the billing document is created value field is updated.
For more information on Profitability analysis please read the documentation provide in www.help.sap.com

Passing floating point values, but being recognised as doubles and int's?

Hi,
I was wondering how to differentiate between floating point values and ints etc
I am passing values into a public class with the parameters (float... values)
Public Example (float... values){}new Example (1, 1e2, 3.0, 4.754);
It accepts it if I just use 1,2,3,4 as the values being passed in, but doesn't like it if I use actual float values.
How come?
Cheers

Getting Reason Code, Condition Type, and Condition Value in one report

Hello there,
I have got a Question for you all BW Gurus. I need the answer for this as soon as possible. I will assign points to all helpful answers.
I am having a Sales cube, Delivery Cube, and a Conditions Cube which I built. Each cube is populated from different ODS. Means there are 3 ODS for 3 cubes. I am joining these 3 cubes under a Multiprovider.
My Question is:
We are using Reason Codes at Delivery level. We have identified an empty field in the delivery tables and populating this field with the reason codes. We have condition type and condition value only in the Condition cube. One of the reporting requirements is that we need to see Reason code, Condition Type, and Condition value in one report. I am planning to report on the Multiprovider. Since Reason code, Condition Type, and Condition value are not present in all the 3 cubes (means they are not common characteristics in the Multiprovider), I dont think I can get those values in one report if I report on the Multiprovider. Please correct me if I am wrong. If what I say is correct, please tell me how to solve my problem. Once again, helpful answers will be greatly appreciated and rewarded with points.
Thank you in advance.
Kind Regards,
Swathi

Hello Swathi,
Please do not post the same question on multiple forums.

Oracle Alert: Access before and after update values of a table column

We have a requirement where a notification needs to be sent when 'END_DATE' attribute (column in a table X) is set, in an Oracle Applications form.
I have defined an Event based Oracle Alert which fires 'On Update' of the table X.
Could anyone please let me know as how to access the value of 'END_DATE' before and after update (i.e :new.END_DATE and :old.END_DATE) in the sql query of the alert.
The need to use the before update and after update values of the attribute 'END_DATE' is that if we add the condition END_DATE is not null, the alert is sent even if any other attrbutes are updated in the Oracle form which is not the intended behavior.
Appreciate any help.
Thanks

Help with Conditional Display and Validation

Version 4.1.1.00.23
Hello,
I'm having a difficult time with a conditional display and validation I'm hoping someone can help with.
Requirements:
When the Start Date (Datepicker) and/or End Date (Datepicker) change then display the Change Reason (Select List) and Change Description (Textbox)
If the page is saved without entering a Change Reason display a validation error message that the Change Reason cannot be empty (NULL)
What I've tried
Create a Dynamic Action on the Start Date
Event: Change
Selection Type:Item(s)
Items(s): P51_START_DATE
Condition: none
True Action Section:
Action: Show
Fire on Page Load: Checked
Show all page items on the same line: No
Affected Items Section:
Selection Type:Item(s)
Item(s): P51_CHANGE_REASON,P51_CHANGE_DESC
I've also created a Dynamic Action with similar settings for the P51_END_DATE.
I created a Validation for the P51_CHANGE_REASON as Function Returning Error Text:
DECLARE
    v_start_date    work_items.start_date%TYPE;
    v_end_date      work_items.end_date%TYPE;
BEGIN
    SELECT start_date
          ,end_date
    INTO   v_start_date
          ,v_end_date
    FROM   work_items
    WHERE work_items_id = :P51_WORK_ITEMS_ID;
    IF ( (v_start_date != TO_DATE(:P51_START_DATE,'DD-MON-YYYY') OR v_end_date != TO_DATE(:P51_END_DATE,'DD-MON-YYYY') ) AND
          :P51_CHANGE_REASON IS NULL ) THEN
        RETURN 'Change Reason must have a value';
    END IF;
END;
The Issue
I tried to create another Dynamic Action to hide the P51_CHANGE_REASON and P51_CHANGE_DESC fields on page load, but when either of the date fields are changed and the validation is fired the P51_CHANGE_REASON and P51_CHANGE_DESC are hidden again.
There are two buttons to submit the page: 'SAVE' will submit the page and stay on the page and 'SAVE_CHANGES' will submit the page and branch to the previous page (which is a report with EDIT buttons to edit the record).
I can't get the page load Dynamic Action to NOT fire when the validation is fired.
I hope this is clear and if not what information can I provide?
Thanks,
Joe

Phil,
Thank you for looking at this.
Yes if the Change Reason is NULL when the edit page is displayed then the Change Reason and Change Description fields are hidden. If the Start Date (Datepicker) and/or End Date (Datepicker) change then display the Change Reason (Select List) and Change Description (Textbox). If the page is saved without entering a Change Reason display a validation error message that the Change Reason cannot be empty (NULL).
The problem I'm having is that if no Change Reason is entered and the page is saved thereby firing the validation the Change Reason and Change Description fields are hidden again (because of the On-Load Dynamic Action to hide them). So now the user can't put in a Change Reason...unless they change one of the date fields again which isn't going to be accepted.
Is there a way to determine if a validation error was fired and be able to use that on the On-Load Dynamic Action to hide the two fields? Something like...If the validation fired then don't run?
Please let me know if I'm still confusing you.
Thanks,
Joe

Xpath and Get XML Document Data

Good Morning,
I have just recently gotten involved in a project that requires communicating with some web services (axis2). We have existing scripts that handle this already, but they were built when we weren't on axis2 so now the XML output from the web service call is slightly different and i am no longer able to use the same xpath statement in the Get XML Document Data step.
I am receiving either null values or a prefix namespace error. I am new to xpath and have been reading as best i can from http://www.w3schools.com/xpath/ to try and understand how to write my statements to pull out the data i want correctly.
I have read that sometimes the editor has problems if the XML contains namespace declarations, etc.
Below is an example XML output where I'd like to be able to read the value in the ax211:success. My xpath gets prefix namespace errors as it doesn't recognize ax211.
Xpath: /descendant::ns:validateCertificationResponse/child::ns:return/child::ax211:success
Perhaps my xpath statement is just incorrect and wouldn't retrieve what i expect it to....
Any advice is appreciated.
Thanks,
Kevin

Hi,
well, it appears that text() is automatically appended to the XPath query for some reason in UCCX, this is why you actually see the text node within the ax211:success element. This //*[local-name()="success"] select the whole node, not its first child (which is actually the first element, which also happens to be a text).
Anyway,
// - anywhere
* - any node
And within this "everything" you actually search with the condition within the angular brackets.

Event dead loop in updating column value of a matrix

Hi,
I need to do some auto calculation in a matrix. In my matrix, i have column A and B. If user enter a value in column A and leave the column then my add-on will do some calculation and assign a new value to column B, same thing on column B. In my event filtering, i use
"pVal.FormType == xxx && pVal.ItemUID == "xx" && pVal.ColUID == "U_xx" && pVal.EventType == SAPbouiCOM.BoEventTypes.et_LOST_FOCUS && !pVal.BeforeAction"
to capture the event. But then my add-on enter into a dead loop. It seems when i write a value to column B in column A event it will trigger LOST_FOCUS event in column B and then it trigger same event of column A, and then it enters into a dead loop. In SAP B1 client, i can see the two columns start refreshing endlessly.
Apparently, when assigning a value into a column B during event of column A, it will trigger LOST_FOCUS event of column B. That's the only reason i strongly suspect that. Is there any one know the solution for my situation?
Thanks,
Lan
P.S. i first get the object of the textbox in the matrix, and use "oEditText.value = new_value" to assign the value.
Edited by: ZHANGLAN on Jul 8, 2010 2:26 AM

Hi
Why didn't you try the Validate event instead of Lost focus. That is pretty easy for such calculations.
"pVal.FormType == xxx && pVal.ItemUID == "xx" && pVal.ColUID == "U_xx" && pVal.EventType == SAPbouiCOM.BoEventTypes.et_Validate && !pVal.BeforeAction"
Thanks

Chart report Condition fields and Data fields

Hi all,
i have tried chart report by adding two condion fields and one data field, the report is more meaning full in this scenario. the first condition field is taken as x-axis, the 2nd condition fields is taken as legend.
while adding more condition fields and data fields, i feel its not showing meaningfull data.
can anyone explain how the condition fields and data fileds are manipulated by crystal report.
i am using CR XI R2 Server.
Thanks
Padmanaban V

i am using Crystal Report XI R2 RAS Embedded in my server.
as we can add any number condition fields programatically using the method
ConditionField.Add(FieldObj), i would like to know how these fields are manipulated internally by the RAS server.
that means, what is the significance of condition fieldobject 1, condition fieldobject 2,condition fieldobject 3 etc...
if i add more than two condition fields , RAS Chart Report always returns 0 as legend value for all legends.
Thanks in advance

Padmanaban V
