Custom UME Attributes

Dear all,
I have few queries regarding UME Attributes. Could you please any one help me to resolve the issue?
We have user managed custom attributes for our portal. Now we would like to populate data for all the users.
How should i populate data using Import feature? As I know, User Managed custom attributes are visible only for the user
through PERSONALIZE option. Is there any way to achieve this?
Thanks!
Cheers,
Kabali

Hi,
I am not quite sure what you wanna do.
But in general:
Every attribute from for example your corporate LDAP Server you can use in your portal.
In this case you have to modify the xml (data source configuration) file for the UME configuration.
See http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/en/1a/2bee408a63732ae10000000a155106/content.htm.
After this you have to customize your KM business card if you wanna see this new attribute in the users business card.
You can as well see within your own profile the new attributes in the portal personalization.
And of cause you can write your own portal component which can as well access by the common UME API's this new attributes.
Best regards
Frank

Custom UME attribute with pre-defined values

All,
Is it possible to define a custom UME attribute which will have pre-defined values so that it appears as dropdown select when the admin creates a user?
Your help is appreciated.
Thanks

Hi Aakash,
I am not a software developer so I cannot really give you details. I can point you to our documentation: [SAP NetWeaver Developer's Guide|http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70ehp1/helpdata/en/8b/0b674240449c60e10000000a1550b0/frameset.htm]
This guide should point you in the right direction. The UME has a public API with which you access the attributes in question programmatically. What you do from there depends what you as a programmer want to do.

How to add custom UME attributes

Hi Prashanthi,
The User Management Engine (UME) provides data source configuration files that define a configuration for standard scenarios. If none of these files cover the scenario that you require, you can modify the existing configuration files according to your requirements.
1.Download the data source configuration file that most closely meets your requirements.
For more information about accessing the file when the AS Java is running, see [Accessing Data Source Configuration|http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04s/helpdata/en/f3/84fc50c515d44aa008badfbedca14d/content.htm] Files Online.
For more information about accessing the file when the AS Java is not running, see .[Accessing Data Source Configuration Files Offline|http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04s/helpdata/en/0f/bdd93f130f9115e10000000a155106/content.htm]
2.Adapt the file as required.
3.Verify the correctness of your data source configuration file using the document type definition (DTD) file, which you can find at the same location as the data source configuration files.
4. Upload the data source configuration xml file under a different name..
To configure UME to use it, set the UME property ume.persistence.data_source_configuration to the name of the new configuration file.
So that it will take the newly created ume config xml file which will have newly added attributes.

SPML Provisioning with custom UME attributes

Hi,
we are trying to provision users to the SAP Web Application Payer Direct (Part of Biller Direct in FSCM) from IDM. Payer Direct is deployed on an SAP Java Engine. Therefore the natural choice to provision using IDM is the SPML connector provided out of the box. Payer Direct has different ways of setting up user management, one of them being a variant referred to as UME Usermanagement which in a nutshell accesses the backend system using a reference user + vendor number. Both reference user and Vendor number are maintained using additional attributes on the UME. So basically many users are maintained in the webapplication whereas only few user are maintained in the backend system. The setup is described here:
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_afs64/helpdata/en/42/c87e28c84e136ee10000000a1553f7/frameset.htm
Now here are my questions:
1) We know the the UME API supports this configuration as we have developed a J2EE app creating users in the UME populating these fields using the UME API in a similar context. The question is, does the SPML interface support this as well ?
2) The structure of the SPML request is defined by a file called "schema.xml". Can this be customised and what is its location ?
3) If the file can be customised we could add the additional fields to the schema definition by modifying schema.xml. The question though is how would e.g. the SPML create operation recognise the additional fields and "know" what to do with them, i.e. populate the native UME API (which I presume it does) ?
Any bright ideas ?
Andy

How to access custom ume user attributes via VC?

Hi guys,
I configured a custom user attribute within the ume configuration:

Now, how can I access this attribute within my VC model (user data)?
Thanks for your ideas
Benny

Hi,
Regarding adding properties to user data control, i have the following information. But i am not sure, whether it will be helpful to you.
You can add a personalise property/User mapping property into a user data control.
Drag a User data component, go to configure and click the + sign at the bottom of User parameters.
You can add any personalised properties to the user data (with valid data types and allowed values). Then can use the property in any formula.
When iView is opened in portal, the personalise property of that particular iView is used to change the property value
Hope it helps.

Custom UME Role with action: Manage_All_User_Passwo

Hi all,
I have to create a custom role on EP. This role has to able a user to manage the password of all user (only password).
i created a custom UME role Reset_PWD and I add the following action
Manage_All_User_Password
I attribute this role to a user.
When I logon with this user I get an error: Page not found.
Any suggestion to solve my problem?
Thanks in advantage
Enzo

Hi Enzo,
The reason why you are getting this error is because you have assigned just the role and an action to it. There is no content attached to the role.
For this requirement, I am not sure if adding any existing iview will help or not.
Thanks,

Searching UME attributes directly in SearchQueryListBuilder

Hello Experts,
I designed a custom Who is who application where the user should have the possibility to enter attributes directly in special edit fields.
To search in the UME index I build up a SearchQuery with this code:
SearchQueryListBuilder queryBuilder = new SearchQueryListBuilder();
queryBuilder.setSearchTerm(queryString);
queryBuilder.setSelectedSearchAction("FUZZY");
IQueryEntryList qel = queryBuilder.buildSearchQueryList();
is it possible to search directly in the UME attributes of the user (e.g. for the lastname)
Is it possible with the set of custom properties? May the code be like this?
queryBuilder.setSelectedCustomProps("attribute_name")
How should the attribute name should be structured so it works for e.g. the lastname?
What I also tried is to build up the connection to the attribute in the query string:
e.g. querystring = "lastname : querystring"
but this variant doesn't work if you enter a lastname like Sm*th for Smith
Please help me.
Thank you
Best Regards
Frank

The correct syntax is:
queryBuilder.setSelectedCustomProps(ume:lastname(value=Smith))

Get UME Attributes through front page

Hello All,
Is it possible to pull UME attribute of a user like "department" through front page?
I only know to go to custom attributes and custom attribute mapping and pull it through
getPropertyValue but can we pull the user details like department set in UME
Please suggest
Thanks
Namita

Sorry I dont know about Curly braces whether you can do for this , But cud be done for getting roles and User using curly braces or getPropertyValue.
I Could only suggest you to do as below as far my knowledge ,
Create XML query.
Configure above XML Query in Transaction, in links map (XML Query) URL like given below
"https://Server:Port/XMII/Illuminator?service=admin&Mode=UserAttribList&Content-Type=text/xml&group=XMII Administrators&IllumLoginName=loginId&IllumLoginPassword=pwd"
Test in Workbench You will get Attributes as Output.
Pass this to Document and get it in Frontpage using Xacute and Grid.

Padma.

Rich Text Editor with Custom Text Attribute

Hello All,
We are using the latest version of Oracle Portal 10G. I have a need to create custom Attributes of the type text to let people enter a lot of text. But when User are in edit mode of an item where this custom attribute is used, the Rich Text Editor is not shown for entering the Text for the Custom Text Attribute. It shows a normal html text area. Has anyone ever used RTE with Custom Attribute?
I request you guys for help.
Thanks.

The Problem with the Custom Attribute is not solved, but I have now compromised with the Situation and now I am not using a Custom attribute.
Rather, Now I am creating a Custom Item Type using Base Text Type (earlier i wanted to create custom item type at my own without any base item type). In this case now I will not be able to change the Lable of the RTE (that is "Text", when the Custom Item is in Edit Mode), but I hope that my users can understand that much.
I have created a template for portal pages. In the Template I can edit the Region Properties. When I edit the Region property of the region where I want to display my Custom Items. I get two Tabs on the top, Main and Attributes/Style. ON the main tab I can tell what type of region it should be, width etc, in my case it is item type region. And on the Attributes/Style tab, I can select from the availabe Attributes as which all Attributes I want to display. Here if i select only "Associated Functions" Attribute then normally portal should not render anything by default on the Page. It should rather make a call to the procedure which is associated with the Custom Item and as when I was creating the custom item type, I had clicked on "Display Procedure Results With Item", so portal should now display the result of my Procedure. So far it works without problem.
But the problem is that the Portal displays the text at its own also. As i have written that Portal should not display anything at its own, this doesn't work in this version of Portal for a Custom Item Type that is made using Base Text Item Type. For all others it has worked till now (I have create 50s of Custom item types).
You can better understand by going to the following URL. Just have a look between the two dotted lines (Dotted line is also a seperate Custom Item Type). Between the two Dotted Lines is a custom item, in general it would be a Custom News Item having title, image and so on.
http://sunnode1.edvz.sbg.ac.at:7778/portal/page?_pageid=79,56047&_dad=portal&_schema=PORTAL
I have really programmed a lot with portal but now at this stage where I am near to end, I am getting problems which are coming from Product. I request you for help.

Custom Dynamic Attributes

Hello Experts:
Does anyone knows if it is possible to create a Custom Dynamic Attribute for Bid Comparison where this custom Attribute can be automatically filled through a function module or program with some calculated value?
My requirement is to provide an automatic supplier qualification which can be used as a comparison attribute, the qualification could be calculated using supplier information from previous POs, Confirmations, etc.
Hope you can help me out
Hugo

Hi,
Dynamic Attributes for Bid Invitation can be created using customization.
SPRO-> SRM Server->Bid Invidation - > Dynamic Attributes.
Generally the response to the dynamic attributes are given by Bidder when submitting the Bid.
For automaic population of response to the bidder do you want to do through report ?
you can implement "BBP_DOC_CHANGE" BADI metod "BBP_QUOT_CHANGE" for pupulating the response of dynamic attribute while submitting BId.

Custom tag attribute calculated by scriptlet expression

Hi,
 If I set the rtexprvalue subelement of the attribute element in my tld to
 "true", should I be able to dynamically determine the value of my custom tag
 attribute using a scriptlet expression?
 When I include the custom tag reference:
 <prod:getCategory id="category"
 categoryID="<%=request.getParameter("catID")%>" scope="page"/>
 it actually gets written to the html as:
 <prod:getCategory id="category" categoryID="2133" scope="page"/>
 and is not recognized as a jsp tag.
 I am using weblogic 6.0 sp1.
 Thanks in advance!

I had the same problem in a design a couple of months ago and could not get around it so I switched the functionality into code and out of the tag lib.
I take it you are trying to do something like this?
<%
String value="hiworld";
%>
<mytaglib:saysomething value="<%=value%>"/>
