New data type for metrics

[Former Member]

Hi,

We are trying to customize metrics for our needs. For that reason is imperative to have new data type for metrics.

The standar types available are:

CURR

DATS

FLTP

QUAN

We have already added more types in table INM_M_TD_DATA_TYPE. However, when these new data type are assigned to metrics user can not see fields related with metrics in user interface.

Does Anyone know if there is something else left to do? we do need to make additional customizing? is it possible to have new data type for metrcis?

Thanks,

CAMILO URIBE

Hi Camilo,

If you add values to the domain INM_M_TD_DATA_TYPE you will be able to configure in the metric... but it wouldn't work. The four values are by default and are linked to a format and to a functionality ( in the code) , for example DATS it is YYYYMMDD ( it is a field with this format).

If you add a new Type XXXX ... this type is not linked to any format and functionality.

I tried in the past change the DATS --> YYYY ( instead of YYYYMMDD) or create a new type with format YYYY and I didn't find the way but I am sure that it is not enough modify the domain.

Regards!!

Hi Sara,

Do you know if it is possible to make an enhancement to include the new type?

Hi Camilo,

I have not tried this before. But what is the problem with the existing data types?

Hi Thorsten,

I just want to have a metric with INT domain without Unit. The existing data types doesnt allow to handle INT domain.
