UWL custom attributes are not retreived

Hi all,
We are trying to add some custom attributes to our UWL. We are able to see the new columns but they remain null. It seems that the values are not retrieved from the backend.
We have tried defining custom attributes from workflow container, from BOR object and even UM but without success.
We have followed this thread http://weblogs.sdn.sap.com/cs/blank/view/wlg/20379 and also other ones.
Here is my code for my custom attributes (under "TEST" comment):

I've read in this thread [UWL: Time Delay of SAP and Custom Attributes: refresh necessary|UWL: Time Delay of SAP and Custom Attributes: refresh necessary] that UWL cache and the delta pull mechanism must be configured for the new attributes but I don't know how to check it.
Please, can anyone help me?

Lync custom attribute are not shown in ADSIEdit

I have a AD running on Windows Server 2012 R2 with Lync extensions.
When I try to see the Lync custom attributes using ADSIEdit or using Active Directory Users and Computers they do not appear. However, when I use power shell Get-ADUser I do see all the attributes. The attributes are not empty.
e.g: Get-ADUser simons -property *
msRTCSIP-UserEnabled : True
msRTCSIP-UserPolicies : {0=1759513798}
msRTCSIP-UserRoutingGroupId : {10, 110, 186, 167...}

Custom attributes are not showing up the data

Hi,
I added couple of custom fields in UWL.
I followed the following blog .
http://weblogs.sdn.sap.com/cs/blank/view/wlg/20379
It is showing up the columns but there is no field values(data). It is with ECC system EHP4 and portal on EHP1.
I used the business objectZBUS2078(copied from BUS2078).
I tried to use the wizard too. Same problem. I tried to retrieve existing standards fields too (Description, priority kind) still the values are not getting populated. But standard fields are working. The same standard fields when I tried to use as custom they are showing blank.
Any Ideas. Am I missing any thing.

Mark

Hi DIAdemUser1,
This feature was indeed removed. R&D felt like it caused more confusion than benefit, and I agree. I do apologize to you and others who liked the feature that has now disappeared. When DIAdem 9.0 released the custom properties in the Data Portal showed their data types, but that feature was also removed in favor of simplicity. I often miss that feature, but it's for the greater good.

Limitation on number of custom attributes visible

Hi,
I am using OIM 11g.
All the custom attributes are visible on the create user form. I am able to see only 8 custom attributes on the modify user form.
The visible property of all the attributes is set to true. I cannot modify the attribute once its created at the user creation.
Can someone please help me out?
Thanks...

I got it resolved.
Permissions in the access policies were not enabled for the remaining attributes.

UWL refresh problem for ABAP BOR custom attributes

Hi all,
we are facing an issue with an UWL iView. We wanted to display custom attributes from an ABAP Business Object (ABAP_BOR).
The feature is working but when an end-user receives a new task in his UWL view, he needs to click on the refresh button in order to have all the custom attributes correctly displayed.
We have only the problem with custom attributes, for the columns containing standard workflow decision task attributes, the data are displayed directly without the need to push the refresh button.
We are on EP 7 SPS11 and the back-end is an ECC6 version.
We have followed the methodology described in the How to configure and customize the Universal Worklist pdf document:
ABAP BOR
<CustomAttributeSource id="ABAP_BOR"
objectIdHolder="externalObjectId"
objectType="FORMABSENC"
cacheValidity="final">
<Attribute name="COSTCENTER" type="string"
displayName="Cost Center"></Attribute>
<Attribute name="FIRSTDAYOFABSENCE" type="date"
displayName="First day of absence"></Attribute>
<Attribute name="LASTDAYOFABSENCE" type="date"
displayName="Last day of absence"></Attribute>
</CustomAttributeSource>
Do you have an idea where this problem come from and how it could be solved?
Thanks in advance and regards,
Sébastien BODSON

Hi Chintan,
This parameter has no impact on the problem we face. I found an exact description of our problem on SAP Help portal, in the UWL pages:
CustomAttributes, CustomAttributeSource and Attribute
Extract from SAP Help portal:
Every item type can have custom attributes defined, which can be filled from Business Object or Provider Data Containers like the Business Workflow Container or the Alert Container. These attribute sources are defined within the CustomAttributeSourcetag, which contains information on which attribute connector brings the custom attributes, how to identify these custom attributes in the provider system and how long the cache is valid.
Note that once an item arrives, these custom attributes are retrieved in additional calls to the backend. For performance reasons, in order to minimize responses times to the end user, this may happen while the item is displayed to the end user - causing such attributes to be empty initially and only to appear in subsequent requests.
The display names of the attributes for column headers and labels are defined in the display attributes of the default view of the item type.
Does anyone know a workaround in order to have directly the complete information displayed?

Using AD Custom Attributes in UME

Hello all,
I want to get employee number and First/Last name which are maintained in AD as Custom Attributes.
The question is how to bind UME user attribute to AD Custom Attribute?
In MMC AD Custom Attributes are shown as "Custom Attribute 1", ... "Custom Attribute N".
But what technical name should we use to refer it in UME datasource XML configuration?
<attribute name="EmployeeNumber">
<physicalAttribute name="?CustomAttribute1?"/>
</attribute>
Thanks,
Anton.

please check if this help's. We used this for SunOne LDAP, i am assuming it should also work for AD.

Help needed in Inbox search for Custom attribute

Hi,
We have a requirement where in we are having a custom attribute on Service request to store the ECC Order number.
We have enhanced the Inbox search to retreive all the service requests havig the ECC order number.
Here we are encountering a problem. i just created a new crm service request and entered order number 1234. and now when i search for the same in Inbox search giving the criteria order number as 1234. I get no results found. But when i extend the max list to 2000, then i see the service request appearing in the result list. not sure about the algorithm that is designed for inbox search.
Any pointers on how to resolve this issue would be of great help.
Thanks,
Udaya

Hi,
I do not have the time to research this completely, but I had a short look into the class you posted.
In the GET_DYNAMIC_QUERY_RESULT there is a call to CL_CRM_QCOD_HELPER->PREPROCESS( )
A little bit lower there are blocks marked by comments for the single searches that are handled by this class. I had a look into the campaign_serach() method. There if you scroll a little bit down (around line 123) they set all search parameters to SIGN = 'I' OPTION = 'EQ'. This is done several times below as well.
Set a breakpoint in the proprocess() method and check which of the blocks is called and how they handle your search criteria.
Hope it helps.
cheers Carsten

How can I add a custom attribute to a catalog area? (CRM Isa Sales)

Gents,
How can I add a custom attribute to a catalog area? (CRM Isa Sales)
Actually I would like to use the Catalog Area Type (maintained in trx COMM_PCAT_ADM on Catalog Area Header level). This field doesn't seem to be available in J2EE webshop. (The field documentation says it is for documentation purposes only so I don't expect it to be transferred).
As this field is not readily available, I would like to add is as an attribute to the Catalog Area. BADI's PCAT_IMS_FEED_ATT and PCAT_IMS_FEED_VAL seem to indicate that it should be possible to add additional fields not only on product level, but also on Area level:
Example implementation code:
method IF_EX_PCAT_IMS_FEED_ATT~READ_NEW_FIELDS.
* Example, how to add new attributes to a indexcategory
* Possible levels are 'C'ategory and 'P'roduct.
* Field 'VALUE' carries the attributetype ('S'tring, 'I'ntegar or
* 'F'loat)
* Structure 'IS_OBJECTS' carries actuall identifiers
data: ls_fields        type comt_pcat_ims_feed_ux.
case iv_level.
    when 'C'.                        "Category Level
*     no new field
    when 'P'.                        "Product Level
      ls_fields-field = 'CUSTOMER_EXIT_FIELD'.
      ls_Fields-value = 'S'.
      append ls_fields to ct_fields.
*     exproduct fields
      ls_fields-field = 'REMAN_ABL'.
      APPEND ls_fields TO ct_fields.
      ls_fields-field = 'EXCH_BUS'.
      APPEND ls_fields TO ct_fields.
endcase.
endmethod.
However, when I create an implementation and add some code in the when 'C' part, the attributes do not seem to get transferred. (I've checked in the debug mode of the developer studio).
- My example code:
METHOD if_ex_pcat_ims_feed_att~read_new_fields.
* Possible levels are 'C'ategory and 'P'roduct.
* Field 'VALUE' contains the attributetype
* ('S'tring, 'I'ntegar or * 'F'loat)
DATA:
ls_fields LIKE LINE OF ct_fields.
CASE iv_level.
    WHEN 'C'.                        "Category Level
      ls_fields-value = 'S'.
      ls_fields-field = 'ZTEST'.
       APPEND ls_fields TO ct_fields.
    WHEN 'P'.                        "Product Level
ENDCASE.
ENDMETHOD.
and:
METHOD if_ex_pcat_ims_feed_val~read_new_fields.
CASE iv_level.
    WHEN 'C'.
     ls_fields-field = 'ZTEST'.
     ls_Fields-value = 'Value 1'.
     append ls_fields to ct_fields.
    WHEN 'P'.
ENDCASE.
ENDMETHOD.
In the ABAP debugger, I can see that my code is touched during initial and delta replications, however, after replication, the fields do not show up in the Java debugger.
Any ideas?
regards,
Wilco Menge

Hi,
How can I customize the /bin/wcmcommand or how can I make use of [2] to create a custom WCMCommand?
I think the "formUrl" is to post those input value to the jcr repository?
var createDialog = {
        "jcr:primaryType": "cq:Dialog",
        "id": CQ.Util.createId("cq-createdialog"),
        "title":CQ.I18n.getMessage("Create Page"),
        "formUrl": CQ.shared.HTTP.externalize("/bin/wcmcommand"),
        "params": {
            "cmd":"createPage",
            "_charset_":"utf-8"
I have added a field called "starred"
Moreover, when I using the firebug to trace the post command, I can see that the starred value is posted also.
:status
browser
_charset_
utf-8
cmd
createPage
label
b
parentPath
/content/keyword_elaboration
starred
c
template
/libs/collab/commons/templates/form

cmd=createPage&_charset_=utf-8&%3Astatus=browser&parentPath=%2Fcontent%2Fkeyword_elaboration&title=a&label=b&starred=c&template=%2Flibs%2Fcollab%2Fcommons%2Ftemplates%2Fform
However, when I go to the crxde to view the node's attribute, the properity starred is not created
Are there anything I did wrong or missing?
Thanks.

Customer Master Data attributes are missing in BW when populated in R3?

Hi,
We have got a problem like - Customer Master Data attributes are missing in Business Warehouse when populated in R3.
<b>Eg.</b>
Account Number: 1081202 - No customer clasification. In BW it is not assigned.
Account Number: 2023902 - In BW region field is not assigned, In R3 it shows SA.
No customer clasification, in R3 it shows OP.
How do we check & resolve this problem.

Hi Venkata,
Its a master data.
How will the PSA come into picture.
Its directly loaded into the characteristic. no PSA is used in between.
We need to run manually the hierarchy/attribute change run?
Please give the steps for running it manually.
<b>Shabar Alibhai:</b> I dont have the sufficient R/3 authorisations for checking the data in r/3 side.
The problem needs to be identified with respect to BW side only.
Thanks & Regards

Not all product attributes are showing in customer order details

Most of our products have 2 attributes and both attributes are set to mandatory. However, when an order is placed, only the first attribute appears on the order. Has anyone else experienced this problem?

Thanks Gaurav. On the admin Order Details page, there should be 2 attributes displayed, however, only 1 is showing.

Issue with Sorting by Custom Attributes

In our custom SES query application, I am trying to implement sorting at the custom attribute level. I am having difficulty in understanding exactly how to set the options on doOracleOrganizedSearch() to achieve the desired result.
We have a table based content source and allow a user to search via custom search attribute. We are also going to allow them to sort by custom attribute.
For example, say we have a Project content source and one of the attributes is "Client Name". Users are going to be able to sort by client name (A-Z and Z-A). I have a prototype working but it only seems to work if I set topN to a very high number.
I want to bring back the first 10 documents sorted by Client Name A - Z and allowing paging to the next set of sorted results. My prototype works if I set topN to 1000 (more than the # of results) but does not work if I set it to 10 (# of results I want to display per page).
Below if my code. Note I am not setting the group attribute or the cluster list. Perhaps this is the issue?
Many thanks in advance!
OracleResultContainer results = service.doOracleOrganizedSearch
(this.m_query, // query
this.m_docsRequested, // topN
this.m_startIndex, // startIndex
new Integer(10), // docsRequested
this.m_dupRemoved, // dupRemoved
this.m_dupMarked, // dupMarked
this.m_searchDataGroup, // groups
this.m_queryLang, // queryLang
this.m_docLang, // docLang
this.m_returnCount, // returnCount
this.m_filterConnector, // filterConnector
filters, // filters
this.m_fetchAttributeNames, // fetchAttributeNames
null, // searchControls
null, // groupAttr
this.m_sortAttributes, // sortAttrList
null); // clusterList

Hi Nikola,
in 9.0.1 even if you rewrite the web interface you can't sort files by custom attributes setting a SortSpecification to a Folder. You can only sort by base attributes with getItems(). To get item sorted on custom attributes you must perform a search (a lot more codelines).

Encrypt custom attribute

Tar: 7340338.994
OID Version: 10.1.2.0.2
We are trying to encrypt the custom attribute ( ssn, answer ). How do we encrypt the custom attribute ? This is security requirement.
I find nothing in the admin guide and I am not even sure we can do this. Does anyone know how to encrypt a custom attribute?
I am thinking at best this is an Enhancement Request.

Several ways:
1. Write a plugin: http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B14099_19/idmanage.1012/b14082/plugin_intr.htm#i120282
2. Put OVD in front of OID, point the application to OVD and write a plugin for OVD: http://download.oracle.com/docs/html/E12283_01/java_plug_ins.htm#CIHBDHHE
3. If you can find the attribute in ODS schema, try encryption at the database level with TDE or VPD. Actually I am not sure it will carry over to LDAP interface..probably not but it's worth a try
4. Have the application do it?

Problem with setting custom attribute and it being searchable

I'm having an issue with setting a custom attribute and having it be searchable using Portal 10.1.4. The situation that we have is that we initially added a bunch of files to Oracle Portal using webdrive. Later on, we decided that we needed another custom attribute called "Pinned Item" that will be used for searching (boolean value) and gave it a default value of false. The attribute was then added to the "File" item type in the "Shared Objects" group.
It appears that since this attribute wasn't initially available on the file object, we couldn't search on it so we decided to set it programatically. First, I tried using wwsbr.set_attribute but it errored out seemingly because the value wasn't set in the first place. If I set a value first by using the web front end, I could then use the set_attribute procedure.
So, I moved on to using wwsbr_api.modify_item and it appears to set it (although everything is being set to false until I changed it to "text" instead of "boolean" which is OK because that's what I wanted anyway... see metalink bug 390618.1). I'm using the method outlined in metalink doc 413079.1. When I do set it to a "1", and edit the item the check box is checked indicating that it is set correctly. And if I just click "OK" to save the attributes after I open it everything works like it should.
However, the advanced search (and custom search portlet) and the search APIs are not picking it up. I'm not sure if I'm hitting Metalink bug ID 5592472 or not as that's using the "set_attribute" procedure instead of the modify_item procedure. And their "workaround" of setting the attribute in the UI isn't really feasible for a couple thousand files.
So far I've tried the following things to get it working:
1. I am calling wwpro_api_invalidation.execute_cache_invalidation
2. I have executed wwv_context.sync
3. I cleared the page group cache
4. I invalidated all of the web cache
Does anyone else have any other suggestions?

Custom Attributes in Target Group Email Campaign Not Refreshed

We have a campaign sending emails to a target group of BPs. To fill our custom attributes with values we have implemented our code in badi CRM_IM_ADD_DATA_BADI method CRM_IM_BPSELE. We tested our code using the Test Send feature from the email form and all worked fine.
But when we ran the campaign in the background for a Target Group with multiple BPs it would not work correctly, our attribute values were incorrect.
We discovered while debugging the job, that the badi gets run once for each BP, but the attribute values from the previous BP do NOT get refreshed. In fact there are 2 entire sets of attribute records in the CT_ATT_VALUES table parameter. Each time through it multiplies by another set of our attributes.
I have put code in the badi as a workaround that deletes the previously filled attributes for the previous BP, but I'd like to figure out what is causing this problem.
Any help would be appreciated.
thanks,
Lee

Hi Lee,
Is this issue resolved for you now??
I am facing the similar problem.
Though the BADi is not used for these two mails (it is used in some other mail forms), it is actually called in 'CRM_ERMS_MAIL_COMPOSE' Function Module and the process is same as u said. There are 2 sets of values.
I am using a Mail Alert functionality where in a 'Mail Alert ON' is sent to field engineers (FE) and then upon FE accepting the work we will send a 'Mail Alert OFF' to FEs.
Problem is, we get one or two fields data incorrectly sometimes. I am not able to find out the root cause yet.
Please let me know if you have had any resolution to this!
Thanks in advance.
