Site level variables

I am creating a SharePoint site collection that will house sites for client portals (one site per client). What I would like to do is create a template site that has a couple of key variables (i.e. a client ID, client name, etc) that can be accessed from
apps and webparts. Some examples would include:
1. Search list from another site collection using the content search web part
2. Display the client name on InfoPath forms
3. Set the default value of a list column
When I create a new site from the template for a new client, I would then update the site-specific variables in the site to reflect that client without having to change individual web parts or apps within the site.
Is there a recommended way to do something like this?
In other posts, I have seen reference to the Property Bag and managing it in the Central Administration -- is this functionality available in SharePoint Online?

Hi,
According to your post, my understanding is that you wanted to get client name.
You can use JavaCcript to dynamic assign InfoPath. For more information, please refer to:
Get the computer name to pre-populate a field on a form
You can also get client’s machine name using smartpart user control in SharePoint. Please refer to:
Code Snippet: How to get client machine name?
Regarding SharePoint Online, for quick and accurate answers to your questions, it is recommended that you initial a new thread in Office 365 forum.

Setting Site Level Variables

I am creating a SharePoint site collection that will house sites for customer portals (one site per customer). What I would like to do is create a template site that has a couple of key variables (i.e. a customer ID, customer name, etc) that can be accessed

1. Search list from another site collection using the content search web part

Hi,
In SharePoint Online, we can’t create a farm solution to achieve managing site variables in the Central Administration.
We can use Client Object Model to set property bags.

We can also use a list to store some variables and read data using REST API or Client Object Model in SharePoint Online.

Questions on XML Publisher/Site Level Configuration

We are using BI Publisher 5.6.3 in EBS 11i. I am looking for guidance on setting the FO Processing properties.
On the Administration/Configuration Tab there are no values visible for a number of the FO Processing properties including:
Use XML Publisher's XSLT processor
Enable Scalable feature of XSLT processor
Enable XSLT runtime optimization
Also, there are no entries in xdo_config_values table. Does this mean that site values are set to default? And if so, are these the correct values for the defaults?
Use XML Publisher's XSLT processor - TRUE
Enable Scalable feature of XSLT processor - FALSE
Enable XSLT runtime optimization - TRUE
If these are in fact the defaults, I have read in numerous threads that setting 'Enable Scalable feature of XSLT processor' to TRUE can help with performance. Does this only work if the XML is large, or will it also help if you have very complex .rtf templates (multiple levels of dynamic grouping, pagebreaks, nested tables, sums, etc.)? If the complexity is in the .rtf template itself, is it best to set this property 'Enable Scalable feature of XSLT processor' at the template level? When would it be best to set at the site level? At the data definition level?
I've tried changing this property on a few templates and the outcome doesn't seem predictable. In some cases it seems to improve performance and in other cases there is a decrease in performance. I can't seem to pinpoint why it works in some cases and not others.
Any additional information would be appreciated.
Thank you for your help,
Tam.

Hi Nabendu.
BI publisher does have the option of showing a running total in PDF format usign a RTF template. If you look up the advanced rtf samples provided with the BI publisher plugin there is one example to show running totals, with the previous page total at the top.
you can find this located on your PC where the Word Plugin is installed. C:\Program Files (x86)\Oracle\BI Publisher\BI Publisher Desktop\samples\RTF templates
replace C:\ with the drive leeter of the drive where your desktop plugin is installed
Hope this Helps,
Domnic

How can I use Server level variables in a business model based report

hi gems..
I have declared one server level variable in the BI Analytics repository.
Now I have made one business model based report.
In one column I want to use that server level varible.
I go to the formula tab of that column and then clicked on variable--> session --> put the name of the variable and click ok.
But when i viewed the report, it is not showing the dates, rather it is showing the date format I chosed i.e DD-MMM-YYYY.
please help..

actually the previous problem got resolved...
Now when I am trying to apply a filter on a particular column using that server variable, then it is showing that the varible has no value definition.
I have clicked on the filter tab of that column-->add-->variables-->session variables-->then I put the name of the variable-->click OK.
the following error is comming-
Error Codes: YQCO4T56:OPR4ONWY:U9IM8TAC:OI2DL65P
Odbc driver returned an error (SQLExecDirectW).
State: HY000. Code: 10058. [NQODBC] [SQL_STATE: HY000] [nQSError: 10058] A general error has occurred. [nQSError: 23005] The repository variable, Variable_name, has no value definition. (HY000)
I have made that server variable from manage-->variables-->(right click) create new initialisation block-->gave the name and wrote the query and aslo gave the connection pool name and test that and it worked fine..

Item created at site level can not be seen in other responsibilities

Hi,
I've made changes to one of the iProcurement pages.
I added an item (type : Tip) at the site level . The context is as follows:
scope : page
site : include
organization : A
responsibility : B
The Tip item's rendering properties are as follows:
Site : True
Organization : Inherit
Responsibility : Inherit
Now, I go to another responsibility C and when I looked for this item, it can't be seen.. The item could not even be searched in the personalizations page.
The context for this as follows:
scope : page
site : include
organization : D
responsibility : C
I just want to know that when an item created at site level should be seen by all the responsibilities right?
why is that it is not getting displayed here?
Thanks in advance

Hi Ram,
I could clearly see that the item got created at site level.
The function in the context window is left blank.
site: include
organization : A
responsibility : B
I could see the item in the B responsibility.
But when I go to some other responsibility ( with a different organization), I could not see the item.
This page I'm talking about is NonCatalogShoppingPG (iProcurement).

Issue with the site level access in the trial ac

I am following the given video to get an understanding of site level access.
SAP HANA Cloud Portal Setting Access Levels in the Site - YouTube
I could not find the option of setting the site level access to either public, restricted or private in my trial ac. in the site settings as per the given video above. Could this be some authorization issue or some settings that needs to be done.

Hello,
The site access level configuration is now under the Access Managment entry in the side panel.
Please follow the documentation in the link below.

How to track any change at sharepoint site level

Hi,
I want to achieve is,
create an event receiver or workflow for a SharePoint Site so that any change made @ site level or site collection level which in turn may include any change at any list,library, everything @ site/site collection level----a mail should get fired to a certain
sharepoint group(Administrative).
I found that we can do this with "Change Log" but how?
Is it a list or library or what else?
How could i fire a mail when a new item gets added to it?

As an aside, you're asking for SharePoint to send an email to your administrators every time for every change. Given the number of changes in a typical SharePoint farm, this approach can lead to your administrators being flooded with emails. Some mail transfer
agents also have protections against this sort of activity and could drop mails to prevent your administrators from being spammed.
You should consider this if you plan to use these mails for auditing purposes. Another approach would be to log these changes to a database to ensure you don't lose anything.
SharePoint already has built-in auditing capabilities that you could leverage as well; most 3rd party SharePoint administrative suites include audit reporting.

How to default payment term from Site level

Hi All,
When creating an Order, the payment terms are defaulting from the defined defaulting rules.
As per the defaulting rules, it is supposed to pick as following seq..
1 Related Record - Invoice To.Payment term
2 Related Record - Ship To.Payment term
3 Related Record - Customer.Payment term
4 Constant Value - TBD
Now, as per the rule, it is picking the Payment term from Invoice to level. If there is none defined then it is picking from the Customer level as we never define at Ship To level.
Now my question, is there any way we can implement to pick the Payment term from the Site level when Invoice To payment term is not defined.
Please let me know if any additional info is required.
Thanks.

How to rename content type on web site level and underneath all the document libraries using powershell?

Hello
I wantto rename content type on web site level and underneath all the document libraries using powershell, please let me know how can do this?
I saw this url
http://suryapulipati.blogspot.in/2011/08/rename-content-type-name-in-list-using.html, but I want to change everything from Web Site, subsite and underneath document libraries. Because if you try to change on any on document library, it will be applicable
for that document library, if you change on web level then underneath document libraries content type names not updated automatically.

Not sure with powershell.
I could help you out with Server Side or Web Services though.

Non-admin user cannot access Essbase server level variables

Version 11.1.1.3
Essbase Substitution variables are created at server level. Users are getting error in FR report that uses the Subsitution Variable -- Essbase Error(1051085): You do not have sufficient access to get this substitution variable. Also, users cannot access Substitution variable in SmartView. However, users can access variables created at database level. Users are provisioned as "Server Access" to Essbase and filter access to ASO application "MGTRPTG", where MGTRPTG is an ASO essbase application for reporting. We tried the same provisioning in two other environments and it seems to be working fine.
User is type "Essbase and Planning" provisioned with essbase "server access", application mgtrptg "filter", Reporting and Analysis "analyst", "dynamic viewer" and "Explorer". In addition, it is given a filter "REP_DME_GALB" which restricts 2 dimensions (Division and Geography).
Steps taken to resolve:
1. Existing users were deprovisioned and reprovisioned with no effect.
2. Created brand new identically provisioned users in Prod and QA. QA user can access the server level var and Prod user cannot
3. Created a brand new server level variable in Prod and this cannot be accessed.
4. All services have already been restarted several times.
5. SR has been opened.
Temporary workaround:
By creating a duplicate of the same set of variables at the database level, the reports work. This can only be a temporary workaround as the client cannot be expected to maintain two sets of substitution variables since there are 3 applications using these server level variables.
Thank you for any ideas!
Jennifer

You have stumbled on a defect which is resolved in the Hyperion Planning 9.3.1 patch 6 and above. If you have your planning preferences set to indent members it will cause forms which have page selections to show as invalid in SmartView.
You can either patch Planning or turn off the preference. The patches are available from http://metalink3.oracle.com and require account which has been associated with your client ID.
P.S. Usually it's not a good practice to use the admin id.

Batch Management at Site level

Hi All,
We are planning to implement Batch Management for certain product ranges in our Organization. We prefer to activate Batches at site level. I mean at certain sites Batch need to exist and at others they need not.
I have checked the configurations but they all pertain to the configuration of Batch setting at Plant, Material and Client level in terms of Batch ID being unique or not.
Is there any configuration possible so at to facilitate this requirement ?
Thanks in advance.

Govind

Dear Jurgen,
You are right.
I checked MMRV and the current status is as shown below.
Current period            06 2011
Previous period           05 2011
Last period in prev.year 12 2010
No I check in MBEWH and for the plant 2010 and article 381180 we have the folowwing entries.
YEAR          CURR PERIOD      STOCK QTY

" MCHB: 000000000000381180 2010 0002 7000000001 unrestricted-use stock exists for previous period"
While I try to execute the transaction it gives me an error...
"Deficit of BA Unrestr. prev. 68 EA : 381180 2010 0002 7000000001"
Do you have any clue why is this error coming ?
