Export Custom Attribute Mapping

Hello Gurus!
I'm migrating a xMII 11.5 project to MII 12.1 and the migration tool was fine on creating the Custom Attributes and Custom Attribute Mapping. However, what I need now is to export Custom Attribute and Custom Attribute Mapping from MII 12.1 DEV to QAS and PRD.
My question is: When exporting Custom Attributes from Configurations menu, it will export Custom Attribute Mapping too? How can I export and import Custom Attribute Mapping from DEV to QAS and PRD?
Thanks

Manoel,
have you tried the following:
- open System Management / Configurations
- unmark the "Select All" and only mark the "Custom Attributes"
- click export and save the zip file
The exported zip file should include all the settings. In your follow up systems QAS and PRD you can import the zip file.

Adv. Pricing: Custom Attribute mapped to Std. Volume's ITEM_QUANTITY field

Advanced Pricing: A Custom Attribute is mapped to Std. Volume's ITEM_QUANTITY field, to be able to capture a user-defined volume onto the Standard Quantity field via. Attribute Mapping. However the expected behavior is not achieving. Still the PTE prices if off the OM/ASO's Quantity field, and not based on the number that goes into the attribute field.
PTE= 'Order Fulfillment', Context Type = 'Pricing Context', Context = 'VOLUME', Code = 'ITEM_QUANTITY'.
Attribute Mapping Method = ATTRIBUTE MAPPING.
Click on Attribute Mapping button
Application Name=Advanced Pricing
Line Level User Source Type=PL/SQL API
User Value String= OE_ORDER_PUB.G_LINE_REC.ATTRIBUTE10
When I create the Sales Order in OM, at the line level after entering the item, I entered a number in attribute10, then
also a value in the standard quantity field, and Save. The item had price
breaks defined in the pricelist. But the price returned was based on the value
in the standard Quantity field, not the value in attribute10. Even when I
reprice the line (Actions-->Price Line), there is no change.
Expected behavior is to get the Price off the Attribute that mapped to the 'ITEM_QUANTITY' field (which is a standard/seeded attribute).
Does anyone made such expected behavior to work (without being used with a Customer Price API)?

can someone pls reply?
Thanks!

Export Customized Information Attributes from EP6 to EP7

Hi Everyone,
Is it possible to migrate User Admin customized information fields from EP6 SP17 to 7 EhP1 SP7? The standard portal user export functionality only collects the standard fields and ignores the custom attributes.
Does anyone have an idea on how this task can be achieved???
Thanks,
Bim.

No longer a requirement, thanks.

Need to create new users in Office 365 with custom attributes from a csv file

I am exporting users from an active directory environment and then deleting them from AD. They are Alumni and will no longer be in AD.
I have a csv file with the following fields that I need to use to create new Alumni email boxes in Office 365 for. I need the CustomAttributes because my Dynamic Distribution Groups use them. I am fairly new to PowerShell and have been unable to get this
to work. I suspect I may have to split it into two parts, but am not sure how to proceed. Any assistance would be appreciated. I was directed here from the Office 365 community.
Import-Csv -Path c:\CSVfiles\CreateAlumni.csv | ForEach-Object {
   New-MsolUser -FirstName $_.FirstName -LastName $_.LastName
   -UserPrincipalName $_.UserPrincipalName
   -DisplayName "$($_.FirstName) $($_.LastName)"
   -Password $_.Password
   -CustomAttribute1 $_.CustomAttribute1

   -CustomAttribute11 $_.CustomAttribute11
   -CustomAttribute12 $_.CustomAttribute12
   -LicenseAssignment 'domaincom:EXCHANGESTANDARD_ALUMNI'
   -UsageLocation US

Ok, it wasn't stopping after 2 iterations. What I was seeing was 2 failures. The first was the Get-Mailbox command and the second was when it tried to assign attributes. For some reason it is not looping when it fails. It just goes on and tries to assign
the Custom Attributes. I added writes in to tell me what was happening.

AP_EXPENSE_REPORT_HEADERS_ALL attribute mapping to AP_INVOICES_ALL

Hi,
We need to have some values in AP_INVOICES_ALL in some DFF ( For example Attribute10 ) for invoices we import via expense express. When we update attribute10 of ap_expense_report_headers_all after import i dont see it in the ap_invoices_all table.
What is the mapping of the ap_invoices_all attributes to the ap_expense_report_headers_all attributes.
Please help.
thanks
Ramakrishna

Hi,
The Attribute Mapping must be exactly matching between AP & Iexp.
For example, if you are having a DFF in iExpense called DFF1 (Attribute12-Expense Headers), then you need to create a Attribute in AP Invoice Headers with the same Attribute Number 12.
If you are creating in Expenses Report Lines, the create in AP Invoice Lines category. Pls remember that Attribute No. must be same. If it is done, then data will move exactly from iExpense to AP when Expense Report Export program is run.
The DFF Names need not be same.

Export Transient Attribute data to excel sheet (from Advance Table)

Hi,
I have an advanced table in which its columns mapped with both vo attributes(from database) and transient attributes. If i select 'Export Button' i need to export all data present in the advanced table to excel sheet.. But i am not able to export transient attribute data .. Can anyone help me to solve this problem...
Thanks,
Babu

Babu
You should be able to export any attribute from the VO, provided they are not hidden fields. Do the values appear on the screen? What is the field type on the advanced table of the attribute you are trying to export?

Load or import custom style mapping in link options – is that possible somehow?

Hi Everyone,
I'm working with Instructions for Use and Technical Manual documents in InDesign. I'm constantly fine-tuning our templates, and now I have to refresh them again, because of a brand refresh. I'm using the Custom Style Mapping in the Link Options panel a lot, because it helps us to copy the text from older documents to the new ones with the right formatting, with less effort. The only thing I miss is the “Load/Import Custom Style Mapping” option from this panel.
Do you know if there’s any options to export/import/load these mappings somehow from one document to another? Is it possible to write a script for that? I find this part of InDesign quite unattached, it seems to me (based on my search) that no other people are using it. I feel lonely, help me here!
(I have created many new mappings in an older document, and I’d like to be able to use them in the new templates as well, but I can only do that if I map the styles again. And it’s quite time consuming. Maybe I'm just using too many paragraph styles, I have no idea – this could be another question: what is too much when it comes to styles...)
Thanks a lot,
Zita

Sync is not intended to be used as a backup service like you are talking about, but it will work as long as you save the Recovery Key, as Jefferson mentioned (you also need your Sync Username ''[email address you used]'' and your account Password).
Mozilla has just started working a new "cloud service" that is code named '''PiCL''' for "Profile in CLoud", which I am expecting will be a lot easier to use and might allow the user to access their bookmarks and other data from the internet without adding a "borrowed" PC to your Sync account.

Workflow problems: Import selection, 9 keywords in list?, Exporting image attributes...

I have a few problems incorporating Lightroom into my work flow.
Is there a way to:
Select recursive directories when importing photos from disk without
a copy. Currently, I can only choose files directory(folder) by
directory.
Get more than 9 keywords in a shortcut list.
Add photos from a previously accessed CF card to a catalog in a short
time.
Currently it takes about the same time as loading a card from scratch.
Export image attributes to text file
(filename followed by keywords, rating...)
Basic principles of my work flow:
1. Flash card is used until contents roughly matches the archive media
size.
This means a 1GB card fills to 700MB after deleting rejects, and
a 4GB card will easily fit on a DVD.
2. Photos on card are categorized and rated/rejected/deleted one or more
more times while the card is being filled. This results in:
-Copies of retained images to the categorized directory structure on the
computer.
-Rejects deleted from card, and not appearing on the computer
-Category, and rating information for each image in an easily parsed
list.
3. Post processing is done and printing is done on highest rated images
in each category.
For example:
Day 1: start with a blank 4GB CF card, and shoot 1.5GB for customers A and
B.
Customer A has 8 subjects a,b,c,d,e,f,g,h; Customer B has 12
subjects
a,g,i,j,k,l,m,n,o,p,q,r. Note that some names for customers A and B
are the same. That night, I delete rejects off the card down to
800MB,
and copy the saved images to the directory structure corresponding
to each customer on the computer. Then a list is printed out to show
an image+rating list for each subject. Notes are made for each
"weak"
subject, so I know who to focus on in the next day of shooting.
Note I may have needed to do some minor post processing to determine
rejects and rating.
Day 2: I shoot 9 subjects for customer A: a,b,c,d,e,f,g,h,s, and 12
subjects for customer C: j,m,q,t,u,v,w,x,y,z,aa,bb. Similar culling,
sorting, and copying is done to Day 1.
Day N: CF card is full, so contents is written to a DVD, then card is
erased.
Day M: Sufficient counts of good images are obtained for Customer A, so
Final post processing is done, and prints are made.
My initial experimenting with Lightroom shows it has potential to streamline
the above work flow, but a few key hurdles have kept me from implementing
it. I have made some assumptions about the tool in the following description,
so the best help for me would first to point out what assumptions are incorrect
It looks like "import from device..." only allows a copy from the CF card.
A copy would mean once images were rejected in the catalog, it would be
out of sync. with the CF card. So "import photos from disk..." looks
to be the only way to accomplish principle 1 above. *[minor problem a]* I saw
no way to import the information from the CF cart recursively in this
mode. I had to choose the files in groups one directory (folder) at
a time. When I imported from device, I could grab the whole CF card,
even though it did a copy. Note another reason I can't copy the CF card
to the catalog is that the reject/delete operation would not free-up any
CF card space for the next shoot.
Rejecting, rating, and categorizing (with keywords) worked easily with
Lightroom, but *[minor problem b]* it appears the keyword shortcut list is
limited to 9 entries. Given customers can have more than 9 subjects,
it would be useful if this could be expanded, even if I implement some sort
of keyword hierarchy. I suspect the camera will complain about a bad file
format if I change any of the files on the CF card, but it looks like
the sidecar files on the computer disk allows me to "modify" images so
I can get a correct rating without actu

MDM Custom attributes

Hi gurus,
I'm working with SRM-MDM Catalog 1.0
I'm facing this problem.
I have imported some item with custom attributes (MDM Import Manager), i have mapped fields and values.
In MDM Data Manager items are present but the custom atributes are not present.
Can you help me please?
I'll reward points for useful answers.
Thanks in advance
Gg

Hi Gg,
I guess you haven't imported attributes thats why you are seeing only item hierarchy in data manager and not the attributes.
Follow these steps:
1] To import item hierarchy:
     Source Table : Your file with Hierarchy (Partition Field).
     Destination Table : Repository Taxonomy Table.
2] To Import Attributes:
      Source Table : File with list of custom attributes
       Destination Table : Repository Taxonomy [Attributes]. Thisis a seperate table which we can access through import manager.
3] To Import Attribute vaues:
      Source Table : File with list of custom attributes and values.
       Destination Table : Repository Taxonomy [Text Values]. Again a seperate table which we can access through import manager.
4] To link Attibutes with Items:
     Source Table : File with list of custom attributes and items.
       Destination Table : Repository Taxonomy [Link Attribute]. Seperate table which we can access through import manager.
Once you done with all these steps you should be able to see Item Hierarchy , Linked custom attributes and attribute Values.
Please let me know if this helps.

Amol.

ADDING CUSTOM ATTRIBUTES TO PORTAL USER

Hi,
We are using ldap server as the EP 6.0 user database.
We have to add few custom attributes like comanycode etc to the user.
As I understand, the first activity will be to add these custom attributes in the ldap followed by mapping of portal logical attributes and the custom attributes in dataSourceConfiguration_xxx.xml file.
Now what about showing these attributes in the all relevant user management screens (like Create User, Modify User etc).
Can anyone please tell the configuration for the same.
Any input is highly appreciated.
regards,
Chandra

Hi
Additional custom attributes can be added by editing the dataSourceConfig....xml.In this case logical to physical mapping has to be performed for each attribute.The attributes created without any mapping may be using the default namespace.
The getArttibute() method can be used for getting the attribute values of the specified logical attribute.
IUser user;
String attrs[]=
user.getAttribute("<nameSpace>","<logicalname>");
Editing the dataSourceConfig....xml for Logical to Physical mapping
Inside the nameSpace add the attribute inside the attributes tag as below.
<nameSpace name =.........>
<attributes>
<attribute name = "<logicalnameyouwant>">
</attribute>
</attributes>
Inside the attributeMapping specify the attribute name given above and the physicalAttribute as below
<attributeMapping>
<nameSpace name =.........>
<attributes>
<attribute name ="<logicalnameyouwant>"
<physicalAttribute name= "<physicalnameyouwant>"/>
</attribute>
</attributes>
</attributeMapping>

Unable to create Custom Attributes

I just recently did an install of EPM 11.1.2.3. When I go to add custom attribute in Planning under entity I get an error stating "An error occurred while processing this page". I have uninstalled and re-installed about 3-4 times and still get the same message. I had no problem with release 11.1.2.0, 11.1.2.2.
Maybe related, but when I add a member to the Period dimension I get the message "The member you selected does not exist", but it adds the member anyway. Clicking on help result in error 404--Not Found.
Diagnostic only reveal "Failed REG:Registry -- PROJECT (id: 168ab7c3ac0344677a37fbee13f1c5e7dc3S7fc8):"APPLICATION" child missed
Any ideas?
Thanks

Hi,
Whatever steps you have done seems to be correct for adding an UDF in Create User page. If the UDF is not displayed, then refresh the content by clicking the refresh icon at the top right hand corner of the dialog box while selecting Add Content -> "Data component - catalog" -> userVO. Also I would suggest you to give an unique name while creating the UDF using form designer in sysadmin console. Try it again and it should work.
In worst case try the below steps
1. Create and activate a Sandbox.
2. On the left nav pane, expand Upgrade and click on link Upgrade User Form.
3. On the page that opens, the table will display all your UDFs. Click Upgrade Now and wait for completion.
4. Export(recommended) and Publish the sandbox.
After that create another sandbox in identity console,create sandbox, click on customize and after that try following the same process of adding from userVO

Define custom attributes

Dear all,
I want/need to work with openSSO and therefor want to define some custom attributes which I want to use in my applications. These attributes are already existing within my LDAP server that I use as data store for openSSO.
Here's what I did until now:
- web config path:
-> "access control"
-> "Top Realm"
-> "DataStore"
-> "Sun DS with AM schema"
Attribute Name Mapping:
added:
myOpenSSOAttribute1=myLDAPAttribute1
myOpenSSOAttribute2=myLDAPAttribute2
myOpenSSOAttribute3=myLDAPAttribute3
LDAP User Object Class:
added:
myLDAPObjectClass
LDAP User Attributes
added:
myLDAPAttribute1
myLDAPAttribute2
myLDAPAttribute3
But when I got to http://mySSOHost:8080/opensso/identity/attributes I do not get these
attributes listed.
Did I miss anything ?
I could not find any docs regarding extending openSSO attributes, so I played and tried with
openSSO.
Many thanks in advance
Kind regards
Joerg

There are three approaches I can see
1 - the manual runtime approach. Check the attributes in the doStartTag() method, and throw an exception if it is being used incorrectly.
2 - Implement a TagExtraInfo class, and override the isValid(TagData) method. You can then check the attributes provided to a tag at compile time.
3 - Implement a TagLibraryValidator class, which validates the JSP page as a whole, with regards to a tag library. (compile time)
I think option 2 is the closest to what you want. Option 3 is just overkill, in this case.

Access Custom Attributes in JavaScript and in Transactions

Hello,
I try to work with custom attributes. I've problems accessing the values in JavaScript and in transactions, but it works fine within .irpt pages.
What's the trick?
For a custom attribute called PLANT, can I write something like this in JavaScript?
var p = ;
Is there a way to access custom attributes in the Link Editor of an Action Block?
Kind Regards,
Matthias

Hi Matthias,
it is not possible to integrate that kind of MII variables in JavaScript like you discribed before.
You are right that this kind of expression is possible in the .irpt file. The reason why it is working in the .irpt
but not in the .js is, that the MII script parser is only replacing in HTML content. Everywhere you have
scripting the parser will not replace the {...} markings (since the curly brackets also show start/end of functions aso.).
Variables to JavaScript
The easiest Way to get those variables is to create hidden fields in the .irpt file that you can access via JavaScript.
For example:
<input type="hidden" id="hidden_plant" value="{PLANT}" />
This will be parsed to (e.g.)
<input type="hidden" id="hidden_plant" value="Karlsruhe/DE" />
Now you can access this value in JavaScript via:
document.getElementById( "hidden_plant" ).value;
Variables to Transactions
To parse custom variables to a transaction you first have to specify corresponding transaction variables in the
transaction itself. After saving the transaction you can map those variables to Parameters in the Xacute-Query-Editor.
Including this transaction to your webpage you can simply assign the required value to the corresponding parameter.
For example if you mapped the Plant variable of the transaction to Param.1 you can specify the information in the .irpt
like:
<applet id="trx_test" ....>
<... />
<param name="Param.1" value="{PLANT}" />

Another possibility is to set the value dynamically via JavaScript if you use:
document.getElementById( "trx_test" ).getQueryObject().setParam( 1, "Karlsruhe/DE" );
Native access to user variables via the BLE is not possible (as far as I know).
I hope this is what you wanted to hear?

HCM / VDS / IDM Attribute Mapping

Hi folks!
So we have a bunch of attributes in SAP that start with SYHR, and we have a couple of questions about them.
1. How are these fields mapped to IDM? We've found some information in Identity Management for SAP System Landscapes: Configuration Guide, but we are looking for something more. It seems attributes mapped in the PNP database (or tables?) is not shown that clearly. Our Business Analysts want more information.
2. It seems most of these fields are calculated somehow. As a bonus, we'd like to know how these fields are calculated in the first place.
Thanks for any help you can provide,
Matt

I am not sure how well the document reflects the attribute mapping in the transfer event task in the Staging Id Store. I guess that you need to both look at the document and the event task in Staging Id Store that moves the data to Productive Id Store to see all the attribute mappings.
The real question is how would you need to map them between HCM and IdM. It's pretty normal requirement analysis work to figure out what to export. You should only export relevant attributes.
I am not sure about "calculated attributes" and I am not an ABAP'per, but if you have HCM-consultants on site have them analyze the query definition shipped with HCM. Any transformation that takes place should be in the query and it's data mappings.
I wrote this while ago, won't give you any technical tips etc but more of what I've faced in HCM-integration: Considerations in connecting SAP IdM with Leading Identity System(s)
