Adding dynamic variables to Email Templates

Apart from the default 35 email parameters available in OIA, how to add other dynamic variables to Email Templates?

You would add that to your form processing/email formatting
script,
apparently built into this page -
<form action="/piano-Inventory.asp"

Adding dynamic variables

I remember reading somewhere how you can add variables building on the fly but can't find any references. What I have is a MovieClip in my library. I will use it to create several Menu Items.
This is what I have written:
LessonButton = new mcLessonBtn();
LessonButton.name = "menuLesson"+i;
this.addChild(LessonButton);
Thanks

I would guess that you are creating as many of them as you expect but you are only seeing the last because they sit atop one another. Try adding something like the third line I show in the loop below and you should see them all.
There are probably a few ways to approach this, so here's one. Declaring the var outside the function isn't going to help you get a handle on anything outside the loop except the last one created, so using the "name" property can work. But in AS3, the name is just that, a property, it is not the instance name so you cannot target it that way... using the bracket notation won't work as you tried. You need to use the getChildByName() method to be able to target an instance using its name property.
But when you create each LessonButton in that loop, you don't need any indirect reference because the one just created is directly accessible by that variable name (see the last line in the loop).
for(var i=0; i<LessonTitles.length; i++)
     var LessonButton:mcLessonBtn = new mcLessonBtn();
     LessonButton.name = "menuLesson"+i;
     LessonButton.x = i*100; // do this to see all you create (just to see them all)
     this.addChild(LessonButton);
     LessonButton.Lesson_txt.text = LessonTitles[i];
Another approach to this could be to store the instances in an array. That way you can access them directly that way. Just as an example, the second loop is just as well done in the first...
var lessonBtns:Array = new Array();
for(var i=0; i<LessonTitles.length; i++)
     lessonBtns[i] = new mcLessonBtn();
     this.addChild(lessonBtns[i]);
// and to manipulate them later on...
for(var k=0; k<LessonTitles.length; k++)
     lessonBtns[k].x = k*100;
     lessonBtns[k].Lesson_txt.text = LessonTitles[k];

I want to use system and job variables to make the information dynamic in the Email Subject Line

Someone could mention the subject line character limitation needs to be expanded. 50 chars is not much to work with!
Is it possible to make SUBJECT Line to make , use system and job variables to make the information dynamic , Right now there is a limit for Characters in the Subject line ... is it possible to expand ???

I've encountered the same issue and worked around it by using generic variables that would always be the same for a certain email alert. eg = "System XYZ -source file delay for :"
So a sample subject would then be:
Where ENV = DEV/UAT etc.
This functionality allows you to use generic alert templates for all filewait jobs, and just filling in the variables.
A slight problem is that although this works very well, the use of group variables in email / alert actions is (/ wasn't) officially supported by Cisco when I last ran it past then. Cisco, any update in this?

List of variables available for use in email templates

Hello,
I would like to replace the $(resourceAccountId) variable with the AccountID (or
Name) variable in the Password Synchronization Notice email template.
If anyone can tell me where I can found the list of variables (or tell me the
variables themselves) which are available for use in the email templates I
would be grateful.
Thanks,
Bert

Bert,
The workflow that uses the notification template can pass any value that you want. All you need to do is modify the workflow to pass the value and then have reference to that value in your template.
Other than that you can use the attributes that are available to you in IDM.

Email Template Variables

Can someone provide or point me to a list of all the variables that are available in the email templates for SAP Ecommerce? You know, things like %%UserID%%, %%Subject%%, etc.
I swear I had a list at one point, but who knows what happened to that. Maybe it's even in a help file somewhere and I'm too dumb to find it.
Thanks,
Matt

Hello Matt,
There is a webex demo on editing mail templates available for download here:
[http://www.businessoneecommerce.com/developer.html]
This download also contains an excel sheet with a list of variables.

Inconsistent substitution string expansion in email templates - SCSM 2012 R2

Coming to the conclusion that email templates should not be stored in a custom MP ?
I'm seeing odd begaviour where only some fields are expanded when the email is created. See below example where ID in the subject line has not been expanded but it has been expanded in the body of the email. If I store the custom template in "Service
Manager Incident Management Configuration Library" then it works as expected.
In the following notification, Subject has not been expanded yet when ID is used in a subsequent field in the email body it is expanded (Fault No.)
Also Affected User Firstname has not been expanded.
Subject: Your call has been closed. ID: $Context/Property[Type='WorkItem!System.WorkItem']/Id$
Fault No: IR223
Fault Description: Testing Open, resolve & close notifications
Dear $Context/Path[Relationship='WorkItem!System.WorkItemAffectedUser' SeedRole='Source' TypeConstraint='System!System.Domain.User']/Property[Type='System!System.Domain.User']/FirstName$,
Please be advised that this call has now been marked as closed.
Ian Moran

it should be noted that those substitution strings are contingent on the MP that stores the notification template. for example, 'System!System.Domain.User' is only valid if the
MP Reference "System" points to an MP that contains the element System.WorkItemAffectedUser, and that element is a relationship class definition.
to break it down:
$Context/Path[Relationship='WorkItem!System.WorkItemAffectedUser' SeedRole='Source' TypeConstraint='System!System.Domain.User']/Property[Type='System!System.Domain.User']/FirstName$
$ starts and ends a variable.
Context is one of the keywords that control the behavior of the variable, but in this case, you can read it as the target of the notification template.
Path[] means we are going down the projections path \
Relationship modifies path by specifying which relationship to follow in the brackets with the Relationship element.
SeedRole modifies path by setting which side of the relationship the starting objects is on, in this case, the "context" is the source of the relationship.
TypeConstraint filters path based on what's on the other side of the relationship, in this case, it must be a user.
Property[] means we're reading data from a property of this user, as opposed to pathing again
Type modifies property by controling which class to get the property set from
the last entry is the property name to get data from, i.e. the
FirstName property.
Consider http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ff719642.aspx and
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee533748.aspx, thou Context is new for service manager and is largely undocumented, I suspect it was added to address related classes, as (also speculation)
Target may refer only to the target entity without its relationships.

Where to change notification email template?

Do you know where to change the default template for the system-generated notification e-mails sent to users when they have a new instance in their worklist?

Putting it in the right place is the key.
I was on the wrong track following conf/* even though I found that file there to modify as noted by ruben and Oracle's response to my trouble ticket to them.
Ariel's response on the associated forum linked by Dan was the correct answer.
Getting the engine home dir from the Process Admin console and then just put the file there did it.
Did not have to bounce the engine or WL even though I thought I had to when it did not work when done in conf/*. Did not have to do the -D.
For those interested, Oracle's detail response on the file itself is an interesting read. Ignore the conf/* reference.
"To customize it you have to edit the activityNotification.mail file located in
the conf directory in the ALBPM installation directory (i.e. ~studio/conf or ~enterprise/conf).
Copy this file to the Server Home directory. If it is not copied the customization does not take effect and the default mail is sent.
You can define a dynamic mail content editing this XML file. The ALBPM Server
generates the e-mail notificactions (when enabled) for each process activity using this file.
The text to be sent in the e-mail can be defined:
• by process-activity, or
• by process, or
• a default mail.
The search to find the text is by tag.
First, it looks for the process tag. If found, it searches for the activity tag.
If the activity tag is not found, it searches for the default tag within the
process tag.
If the process tag is not found then it searches for the default mail tag.
The XML is structured to conform to the following tags:
• process id: The id of the process that owns the activity for which you
define the custom email notifications.
• activity id: The id of the activity for which a custom mail needs to be
sent.
• title : In between this tag, provide the title for the email sent in the
specified activity.
• message : In between this tag, enter the message to be sent in the selected
business process activity.
<mail>
<process id='processId'>
<activity id= 'activityId>
<title>
The Instance :INSTANCE_ID/ has reached :ACTIVITY/ ...
</title>
<message>
The Instance is :INSTANCE_LINK"here"/
</message>
</activity>
<activity id='activityId2'>
< /activity>
<Default>
<title>
The Instance :INSTANCE_ID/ has reached :ACTIVITY/ ...
</title>
<message>
Link :INSTANCE_LINK/
</message>
</Default>
</process>
<process id='processId2'>
<process>
</mail>
When a message contains a place holder like:
• :INSTANCELINK/ (a link to the instance), or
• :INSTANCELINK"LINKNAME"/ (a link to the instance with the name of LinkName),
or
• :ACTIVITY/ (name of the activity that has been reached), or
• :VAR/ (where VAR is the id for a process instance variable or the id of an external variable);
these place holders are replaced at runtime by the proper value accordingly to the defined mappings at development time.
If within the message tag you set headers="true"
<message html="true" headers="true">
therefore, in the mail subject you will receive the "ActivityName",
"InstanceId" and "ProcessName".
Note: If for some reason the xml file does not exist, a non modifiable mail is sent and an exception is logged.
The activityNotification.mail file, needs to be overwriten in the runtime environment.
The customization of the activityNotification.mail is per installation, not per process or per application.
There is no know way to customize the activityNotification.mail per application
If you take a look at the content of this file, you will see entries of this format:
<process id="/OU/ProcessName">
This allows creating specific email templates PER PROCESS. This to some extent allows the customization for Application (set of processes).
You can have multiple of "<process id=...> tags in the file."

Email Template

Hi,
I have a new requirement that the standard text mail should be sent out as an HTML Email.
I was thinking of a HTML template which would have "customized tags" which I can replace at run time based on the data from some datasource.
The Email Template should look like:
Dear {FirstName} {LastName},
{Section1}
{Section2}
Thanks and regards,
{SenderName}
The tags between '{}' would be replaced dynamically based on the database values. I have the existsing program running within an EJB. I need to store the HTML content in some place [preferablly deployment descriptors] and then lookup at the information at run time, replace and send email. I am not able to have HTML characters within ejb-jar.xml.
This is one idea. I also though of having a properties file or a local system file to get the data. I am not convinced with these ideas.
Are there any other better approach for this situation?
Kindly advice.
Thanks and regards,
Pazhanikanthan. P

Have a look at:

It is a ready to use solution for your case.

Custom Alert Email Templates Issue - List Alerts emails not using customized XML alert template

I have recently customized the XML alerts template (AlertTemplates.xml) for our site collection in SharePoint 2010 to exclude specific fields in the email when users who have subscribed to a list using the "Alert Me" feature. I
have renamed the custom alerts XML file and loaded the custom template in the following directory (%ProgramFiles%\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Web server extensions\14\TEMPLATE\XML) and
restarted IIS. Once users subscribe to the alerts using the list using the "alert me" function they received the customized email as intended.
We needed to auto-subscribe users to the email alerts so what I did was used a powershell script to add users to the alert subscriptions using the script shown in below:
Import-Csv D:\Temp\filename.csv | ForEach-Object{
$webUrl=$_.WebUrl
$listTitle=$_.List
$alertTitle=$_.AlertTitle
$subscribedUser=$_.SubscribedUser
$alertType=$_.AlertType
$deliveryChannel=$_.DeliveryChannel
$eventType=$_.EventType
$frequency=$_.Frequency
$oldAlertID=$_.ID
$web=Get-SPWeb $webUrl
$testAlert = $web.Alerts | WHERE { $_.ID -eq $oldAlertID }
IF ($testAlert) {
$web.Alerts.Delete([GUID]$oldAlertID)
Write-Host Old alert $oldAlertID deleted. -Foregroundcolor Cyan
$list=$web.Lists.TryGetList($listTitle)
$user = $web.EnsureUser($subscribedUser)
$newAlert = $user.Alerts.Add()
$newAlert.Title = $alertTitle
$newAlert.AlertType=[Microsoft.SharePoint.SPAlertType]::$alertType
$newAlert.List = $list
$newAlert.DeliveryChannels = [Microsoft.SharePoint.SPAlertDeliveryChannels]::$deliveryChannel
$newAlert.EventType = [Microsoft.SharePoint.SPEventType]::$eventType
$newAlert.AlertFrequency = [Microsoft.SharePoint.SPAlertFrequency]::$frequency
if($frequency -ne "Immediate"){
$AlertTime=$_.AlertTime
$newAlert.AlertTime=$AlertTime
$newAlert.Update()
Write-Host Created $newAlert.Title for $subscribedUser . -Foregroundcolor Cyan
} ELSE {
Write-Host Alert $alertTitle for $subscribedUser already done. Moving on. -Foregroundcolor Magenta
When I ran the script and added the users and restarted the service, all users who were auto-subscribed via this method would get the email without the customizations that were done in the custom template. All users who manually subscribed to the list
using the "Alert Me" function would get the customized email.
Does anyone know why users who manually subscribe would get the custom email alert and why users who were auto-subscribed using the powershell script do not get the custom email alert?

Hi ,
According to your description, my understanding is that users who were auto-subscribed using the PowerShell script do not get the custom email alert.
For your issue, it can be caused by the auto-subscribed alert email which is generated by PowerShell script is using OOTB alert template. You can add the following script into your script for setting
the alerts’ alert email template:
$contentService = [Microsoft.SharePoint.Administration.SPWebService]::ContentService
$AlertsTemplateCollection =new-object Microsoft.SharePoint.SPAlertTemplateCollection($contentService)
$newAlert.AlertTemplate = $AlertsTemplateCollection["YOUR_UNIQUE_TEMPLATE_NAME_VALUE"]

How to use/import CM Tags in html email templates?

Hi guys
I would like to start designing html email templates and send mailings for my clients. Can anyone tell me how I can easily insert CM tags so that the template will be easily adapted to the content of the certain email in the email manager like Campagin Monitor?
Thanks!
Bob

Hi Nancy O.
I would like to design my own templates and instantly insert the right tags and so, so that I can import the templates to websites like Campaign Monitor and my clients can open templates when sending new mailsings.
The goal is to have my own designed templates for my clients with their layouts which they can use for their mailings. Also extending the newsletter (adding new article fields) should be possible etc.
Can you tell me what codes I need and what I should pay attention to in order to design nice templates that will appear correctly in nearly each mailbox?
Thanks in advance!
Bob

Dynamic variable value based on a value from xml

I have a invoice template and it is for 4 different companies in my organization. Based on the organization I need to have a different value for a variable that adds blank lines to the end of the invoice. Is there anyway to assign a value to variable based on the value of a xml tag.
Thanks

I should have explained better before. I have one invoice template and we want to keep it one template for all companies. Each invoice is run individually, each companies footer is different, I am calling multiple headers and footers based on each company. Since the headers and footers are different I need to be able to add different amounts of lines and the end of each invoice depending on that company. I have accounted for the page break in my logic based on the amount lines the page is long. I just need a dynamic variable that I can assign different values on the fly.
Thanks

Dynamic variable names and invalid_character_err

I'm neither an expert at structure notation nor dynamic
variable naming conventions and would appreciate any help with the
following. Thanks!
This code works fine.
<cfset idx="123">
<cfset form.product[idx]=StructNew()>
<cfparam name="form.product[idx].product_nm"
default="Raspberry Jam">
<cfform name="data_entry" method="post" format="flash"
height="525" width="675" action="formdump.cfm">
<cfformgroup type="tabnavigator" height="400"
width="650">
<cfformgroup type="page" label="Product #idx#">
<cfinput name="static_form_name" type="text"
label="Product" value="#form.product[idx].product_nm#" height="350"
width="600" readonly="yes">
</cfformgroup>
</cfformgroup>
</cfform>
The following code results in the following error:
"ORG.W3C.DOM.DOMEXCEPTION ERROR. Message: INVALID_CHARACTER_ERR: An
invalid or illegal XML character is specified." The only change is
in the "name" attribute of the <cfinput> tag:
<cfset idx="123">
<cfset form.product[idx]=StructNew()>
<cfparam name="form.product[idx].product_nm"
default="Raspberry Jam">
<cfform name="data_entry" method="post" format="flash"
height="525" width="675" action="formdump.cfm">
<cfformgroup type="tabnavigator" height="400"
width="650">
<cfformgroup type="page" label="Product #idx#">

<cfinput name="product[idx].product_nm" type="text"
label="Product" value="#form.product[idx].product_nm#" height="350"
width="600" readonly="yes">
</cfformgroup>
</cfformgroup>
</cfform>

Thanks for the info. Knowing what WON’T work is
helpful!
Here’s what I’m trying to do. I’m rewriting
one of my apps, switching out conventional HTML form controls for
<cfform> controls in Flash format. Many of the existing forms
in my app are for updating data contained in a central database.
When such a form is rendered to the screen, each form control is
pre-populated with existing data. All form controls are named
dynamically based upon the unique ID of the record being updated.
Here’s a streamlined but typical example:

<cfquery name="get_project_detail"
datasource="#application.DataSource#">
SELECT project_oid_nbr, project_nm
FROM project_table
WHERE project_oid_nbr IN (14,15,16,17)
ORDER BY project_oid_nbr
</cfquery>

<cfloop query="get_project_detail">
<cfparam name="form.project_nm_#project_oid_nbr#"
default="#get_project_detail.project_nm#">
</cfloop>

<table>
<cfloop query="get_project_detail">
<tr>
<td>
<cfoutput>
Project #project_oid_nbr#:
<input type="text" name="project_nm_#project_oid_nbr#"
value="#Evaluate("form.project_nm_#project_oid_nbr#")#">
</cfoutput>
</td>
</tr>
</cfloop>
</table>
This has been working just fine. However, I’m wondering
if using the Evaluate() function is the most efficient way to go.
Therefore I wanted to use structure notation to avoid the
Evaluate() function, but as mentioned in my original post, this
naming convention won’t work with <cfform> tags.
Any suggestions as to the most efficient way to get the same
result while still using <cfform> tags? Thanks so much!

Dynamic variable for 0CALDAY

Hi all, this is my scenario:
I've created a query with input variable for characteristic Year/Month (0CALMONTH), in columns i added a key figure and in rows i added the characteristic 0CALDAY. The result looks someting like this:
Varibale entry: 09.2006
Result table:
<b>
0CALDAY | KYF</b>
01.09.2006 | 1,000
02.09.2006 | 2,000
03.09.2006 | 1,500
30.09.2006 | 2,100
31.09.2006 | 2,350
Now, what i need is to add a column that shows the value of the previous day, so the result should be:
Varibale entry: 09.2006
Result table:
<b>
0CALDAY | KYF | Previous Day KYF</b>
01.09.2006 | 1,000 | -
02.09.2006 | 2,000 | 1,000
03.09.2006 | 1,500 | 2,000
30.09.2006 | 2,100 | (value for 29.09.2006)
31.09.2006 | 2,350 | 2,350
I guess offsets will be the solution, but i need a variable (dynamic variable) to read the current day (0CALDAY) in the report... anyone knows how to do this? a customer exit can solve it (which code)? Please advice.
Thank you.

Thank you KJ for your answer, but unfortunatelly my knowledge in ABAP is very limited, ¿Do you happen to have an example so i can see how to customize it in order to read values from characteristic 0CALDAY?
