using Java API's

getSelectedFields() returns NULL value if values presented also, for Time stamp and User stamp

properties in Flat tables , is there any other alternative way to get the SelectedFields values ?

Hello.

Can you provide some code before trying to get the selected fields?

Maybe there has something to be set correctly (that's what happens for me most of the time when I try something out for the first time).

Yet, I don't think there is another possibility.

Best regards

FieldId[] fieldIDs = (((UserStampFieldProperties)fieldProp).getSelectedFields());

here fieldPropis of type com.sap.mdm.schema.FieldProperties

here this retruns allways NULL if it have selected field also..

Well, I can't say I solved the problem, because I got another one afterwards.

As usually I created a GetFieldListCommand, set its needed attributes and executed it. Then I read all the field properties out:

FieldProperties[] fieldProp = getFieldListCommand.getFields();

Afterwards it is possible to do what you want. Using a for-loop.

for (FieldProperties fp : fieldProperties) {

UserStampFieldProperties usfp = (UserStampFieldProperties) fp; // <= Cast error

FieldId[] fieldIDs = usfp.getSelectedFields();

}

And this is what I get now:

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.ClassCastException: com.sap.mdm.schema.fields.FixedWidthTextFieldProperties cannot be cast to com.sap.mdm.schema.fields.UserStampFieldProperties

Why this happens, I don't know. But it should somehow be solveable.
