XML Validation Not Working.

Hi Dear Experts.
I have an scenario Proxy to JDBC - Dual Stack , on Receiver Agreement I checked the option Validation by Integration Engine . I made a test in Test Message on NWA Task and the validation is fine. However when I sent the message from ABAP Proxy the validation is not working.
Can you help me?
Regards.

Can you see your xsd in NWA??
NWA → Cache Monitoring → Mapping Runtime.
or
PIMON → Monitoring → Mapping Runtime → Cache Monitor
@Sarojkanta Parida : IN PI 7.4 version we dont need to place xsd in any location, We just need to select Schema Validation option in Sender/Receiver Agreement, and it will be activated.

Client Side Javascript Validation not Working in Struts 1.x version

hi,
I'm following the steps provioded in the below link for Javascript Client side validation but still it is not working.I'm struggling to get this work.
[http://www.visualbuilder.com/jsp/struts/tutorial2/pageorder/9/|http://www.visualbuilder.com/jsp/struts/tutorial2/pageorder/9/]
"The framework automatically generates the browser specific JavaScript and validate the data only at the client side."From the above statement i undertstand that framework itself generates the javascript function for validating the field mentioned in validations.xml file so that we dont have to explicitly write a javascript function for
validating the fields
(or)
Do we need to call an explicit function
Please need help on this.
I have followed all the steps mentioned on the above link but Client Side Javascript Validation not Working in Struts 1.x version....

Xerces for XSD 1.1 Validation not working in Java Mapping

Hi Experts,
We are trying to use XSD 1.1 (assertion feature) validation for the XML payload in a Java mapping program. But I am getting the following exception:
java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: http://www.w3.org/XML/XMLSchema/v1.1 at javax.xml.validation.SchemaFactory.newInstance(SchemaFactory.java:186)
This is happing for the statement:
SchemaFactory factory = SchemaFactory.newInstance("http://www.w3.org/XML/XMLSchema/v1.1");
The reason (apparently) is because it is not able to instantiate the class org.apache.xerces.jaxp.validation.XMLSchema11Factory , which is the Xerces implementation of the SchemaFactory class.
I have tried following things so far -
1. If I try to validate an xml against an xsd 1.1 schema in a standalone program, it works perfectly fine.
2. If I try to deploy this whole functionality on to the server through an EAR (like an adapter module), there again it works.
3. Also tried this before instantiating the SchemaFactory -
System.setProperty("javax.xml.validation.SchemaFactory:http://www.w3.org/XML/XMLSchema/v1.1","org.apache.xerces.jaxp.validation.XMLSchema11Factory");
4. I tried by creating the Imported Archive objects for all the Xerces jars that we require for validation, within the same SWCV, namespace. But still I get the same exception as above (IllegalArgumentException)
5. The link [http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/en/b6/8097f5a5edea4f8dfc87ac87082b22/content.htm ] mentions that we need to place all the necessary jars at location <SAP_J2EE_Engine_install_dir>/cluster/server/bin/ext /. But even after placing the jars there, I get the same exception.
I am not sure how we need to handle this. Has anybody faced a similar situation? Any suggestions?
Regards,
Sudheer

Hi Stefan,
Thanks for the reply.
We are on PI 7.1 SP 06. The standard XML tools from jdk supports only XSD 1.0, as far as I know. And XSD 1.0 does not have the Assert feature (also known as, co-occurrence constraint). More details are provided here - [http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/library/x-xml11pt2/]
To use XSD 1.1, we need a different implementation like Xerces-J. I am not sure how we can use it without external jars. I would like to mention again that I could achieve this by using an adapter module (EAR containing the jars), but I need to do this in Java Mapping (imported archive).
Do you know how we can achieve this in any other way? Any other suggestions welcome.
Thanks & Regards,
Sudheer

Why ribbon XML does not work in Excel 2007?

I installed 4 VSTO Excel add-ins on an Excel 2007 PC today. The two that use a visual designer ribbon worked fine. But the 2 that use a Ribbon (XML) did not. The add-in starts ok. But the ribbon does not show. Why would that be?
I wrote two more add-ins to demonstrate the problem. One puts an OK button on the ribbon using the visual designer. That add-in installs on the excel 2007 PC and works as it should. But the 2nd, an add-in that uses Ribbon (XML) to put a button on the
ribbon, does not work. The add-in does not display on the ribbon.
Here is the code of the Ribbon (XML) add-in project. How to get a ribbon (XML) ribbon to display in excel 2007?

Hello Steve,
Most probably you have got an error in the ribbon XML markup. See
How to: Show Add-in User Interface Errors for more information.
I have noticed the following xml namespace:
<customUI xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/office/2009/07/customui" onLoad="Ribbon_Load">
Use the following one instead:
<customUI xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/office/2006/01/customui"
Also make sure that specified idMso values exist in Office 2007.
You can read more about the Fluent UI (aka Ribbon UI) in the following series of articles in MSDN:

Validation not working when clearing an open item

Hi SAP Gurus,
We have a interesting scenario to discuss with you. We are using Legal Dunning Procedure so once legal action is intiated against the customer notifications are sent to the legal department if payments are received.
Unfortunately this can happen only during the next dunning run which of course can occur in varying time intrevals. Therefore we need a validation to occur if a payment is received from a customer against whom legal action has been initiated.
We tried using the following fields Date of the legal dunning proceedings, Dunning block, Dunning key, Dunning level but are not able to get the validation to work when attempting to clear the open item. These all work when trying to post a new document but fail when trying to clear a open item. Points will be given for helpful answers.
Regards,
Siva

Validation not working during Mass Change of Vendor Line Items

Hi All,
I created validation for Reference Key 1 field of Vendor line items, in this validation i used customized user exit.
Whenever i select multiple line items in FBL1N for mass change & try to put a unauthenticated value system gives error as per Validation only for 1 st item but it not work for subsequent items & put the unauthenticated value in subsequent line items.
I am not able to understand why Validation is working only for 1st line item during mass change & not for subsequent line items.
Please provide your suggestions in resolving this issue.
Thanks
sandeep

Hello Sandeep,
I understand your issue. First check if the changes as per the SAP Note 640908 (https://websmp130.sap-ag.de/sap(bD1lbiZjPTAwMQ==)/bc/bsp/spn/sapnotes/index2.htm?numm=640908) is available in your system.
Actually, Mass changes call FB02 in background and at this stage Validation gets activated and hence, the control doesn't go back for the next item changes. You can test this by deactivating the Validation and then the mass changes will me fine.
I hope this explains the behaviour.
Thanks and regards,
Suresh Jayanthi.

Validation not working on Qualified Field!!!! is this Normal!!!

Hi All,
I have an Integer field in the Qualified table.
Name-> Non Qualifier -> Type Text
Code -> Qualifier -> type Integer
Now, i need to write a validation which throws error If user enters a number whose length is less than 4 or greater than 4.
The business requirement is User should enter Exactly 4 Numeric values. Not less and not more.
As integer type field done not control Field length i have written a validation.
I have written a validation..
IF(IS_NULL(MAINLOOKUP.Code),1,IF(LEN(MAINLOOKUP.Code)<4 , 0 ))
But this is not working.
this works for a Normal Integer field which is in Main table, But this is not working when Code field is in Qualified table!!!
Is this the normal Behaviour of MDM??
Or am i missing something!!!
Experts please provide your suggestions.
Note: i changed the Code field to Text and made length as 4 in field property, But this is not controlling if user keys in only 2 values.
So written the above validation on text field as well, But it does not work.
Kind Regards
Eva

Hello Eva
Ok
Just imagine
you have some record in your main table with some QLUT
Qlut contain next fields
item_name - type text
item_value - type integer qualified = yes
and list of values
q1
q2
q3
q4
your main table contain next fields
name-text
Qlut->your Qlut
qlut_code->text
qlut_value_>text
For qlut_code create assignment like Qlut.code
For qlut_value create assignment like Qlut.value
add some records to main table like this:
name=test1
in qlut select next:
item name =Q1
item value=1
item name =Q2
item value=2
item name =Q3
item value=3
and another one record in main like this:
name=test2
in qlut select next:
item name =Q1
item value=1
item name =Q3
item value=3
item name =Q4
item value=4
item name =Q3
item value=33
select both records and run both assignments
If your assignments is correct
In first main record you have got
qlut_code=3:Q1;Q2;Q3
qlut_value_>3:1;2;3
for second main record you have got
qlut_code=4:Q1;Q3;Q4;Q3
qlut_value_>4:1;3;4;33
Then you can use records values from qlut_code and qlut_value for validation
This is work fine.
I hope, you have got my point

Item Level Validation Not Working As Supposed To...

Hi All,
I have an item validation type: SQL(Not Exist) that checks whether the value in the id number field exists in the database when Create button is clicked. If the id number exists in the database then an error message is displayed in line with the field & the transaction doesn't go through; however, when this happens Apply Changes & Delete button appear & Create button dissapear. It's as if the record has already been inserted. I would like this validation to work like the Not Null validations.
I repeated this process several times without success & now I can't even create a new user or update & delete existing ones - I get the error:
ORA-06550: line 1, column 7: PLS-00428: an INTO clause is expected in this SELECT statement
ORA-2015: User ID number already exists in the database.NB:The second message is the one I use whenever there's duplicates so, it's oracle reserved message. Any help is highly appreciated.
Regards
Kamo

The buttons probably have conditions to appear if a certain item is not null. You can set this item to null as part of the validation, e.g.,
:P1_X := null;
...but to do that you'd need to change the validation type to PL/SQL Function Returning Boolean and code the "not exists" logic into the PL/SQL block.

Validation not Working in WBS Element

Dear Team,
I have created a Validation at WBS element level like this:-
Prerequisite
PROJ-PROFL = 'ZPSSNR'
Check
PRPS-POSID : 1-6 := PROJ-PSPID : 1-6:
Error:
WBS ID doesn't start with Project ID
My Project ID "SN-001"
Now when I tried create 1st Level WBS element ( which is Identical to Project ID), it is working fine but in 2nd level onwards it raised erorr. For example, I tried to create WBS at 2nd Level like "SN-001-CIV" then system throw error.
Kindly help me to resolve the issue.
Regards
Soumen Das

Hi,
For your case Use the data as below it would work fine for all the level WBS.
Prerequisitie:
PROJ-PROFL = 'Your project profile' AND PRPS-STUFE >= '1'
Check:
PRPS-POSID :1-5: = PROJ-PSPID :1-5:
Message:
Your required message number.
Note in Check i am asking to use 1:5 because the special symbols should not be considered.
Now your validation should work fine.

Pradeep

Spry validation not working in latest FF or Chrome

Hello,
A simple Spry validation script that we're using is not working in the latest editions of Firefox or Chrome. (However it is working in IE). Meaning, it doesn't validate the form elements as it's supposed to (like missing email address) except for in IE. I can't seem to crack this one. Please have a look at the page:
http://www.golfturf.rutgers.edu/lp/Copy%20of%203-week-turf-short-course-lp1.asp
Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.

Arnout,
Thank you for your input and for catching that folder pointing issue. However I fixed that and it still didn't remedy the issue. I would update the the latest Spry but I'm not sure that's needed because I have another page using the same Spry where the validation is working perfect in all browsers:
http://www.golfturf.rutgers.edu/ppc-turf-form.html
Everything looks the same.
Can you offer any more advice?
Thank you,

as well as hide the popup...
can anyone help me...

Thanks! (While I'm REALLY not comfortable with code yet (working on it :-) I atleast understood that it was a PHP issue (yay).
Studied the code in the examples in the book. And added:
<pre>
<?php if ($_POST) {print_r($_POST);} ?>
</pre>
It worked. (I'm local testing, with no connection to a database yet. Just trying to get the basic pages to work first.)
Hopefully the more I work on all of this, the more I'll begin to "get it"! And I'm almost up to the Chapter on PHP. So, I'm hoping to will become clearer as I read on.
Thanks for the help in pointing me in the right direction!!!

Validation not working for FK01

Hi Guys,
I have written a validation using GGB0 where in i want to restrict a user for using the transaction code in FK01.
I have given the prerequisite as below
SYST-UNAME = 'SRIKANTHD' AND SYST-TCODE = 'FK01'
and Check = False
Then give an error message.
But somehow this validation is not working and i have also activated this in OB28.
Any ideas will be helpful.
Thanks,
Srikanth.

Dear Srikanth,
You can choose the button Local Object instead of Save and this information will be ignored.
Then you will receive one screen to insert the enhancement, insert please SAPMF02K.
Then click on button Components and then one little screen will ask you to save. Click yes and you will see another screen with Function exit EXIT_SAPMF02K_001 fulfilled already.
Double click on EXIT_SAPMF02K_001 and the system will create the program and after that you should include your own code there.
I hope it resolves your inquiry.
Best Regards,
Vanessa.

It seems pretty simple.. but it's not working at all. I would also like this page to submit to it's self, and when it actually does send an email, to just make the form disappear and replace it with the thank you text instead of sending you to another page. I also do not need to use an smtp server, it goes directly to the network server when sent.
I'm really sorry to ask all of this, I'm trying to learn this language and need to make this work.
Thank you for anyones help in advance.

You can't do bold text in a normal email. Plain text is just
that -
plain text. For anything more you need HTML. _If_ you should
need it.
Usually plain text serves pretty well and is the most
efficient way.

You would have to create an entire HTML email with all the
required
headers and boundaries. Quite difficult to do by hand with
PHP's mail()
function.

Then you should start simple with plain text. There are some
classes out
there which make it easy to generate text and HTML emails
(phpmailer for
example), but you should be familiar with PHP coding if you
want to use
them.
