API to change PO Authorization_Status

Hi All
Please let me know if there is an API to change the Authorization_Status of a PO. We do not want to use the update statement i.e.
Update apps.PO_HEADERS_ALL Set wf_item_type=NULL,wf_item_key=NULL,Authorization_Status = 'INCOMPLETE' Where apps.PO_HEADERS_ALL.Segment1 = P_PONUM;
We would like to use an API instead as a part of our customization.
Regards
Ali

I'm actually running into this now. The business scenario is that we foolishly restricted the use of 'Finally Closed' on PO's (so we have this massive backlog of 'Approved, Closed' PO's. Well the workflow is throwing tons of errors because it never sees it as being closed. I need to call the API's to mass change all of our POs for a certain date. I'm not seeing an API for this, any idea how to accomplish?
Thanks.

Need api for changing security role in web.xml !!

My requirement is to change the value of the deployment descriptor "security-role" (in web.xml) through an api and inturn to persist the new value in web.xml. Also I need to know if this change is automatically redeployed or an explicit redeployment is needed ? In that case how do I redeploy using an api call ?
I found a lot of apis related to roles like createRole, removeRole etc.. But there are no apis to change the name of the role and inturn persist in web.xml.
Do I need to provide any more information ? Let me know
Thanks,
Karthick

why and when do you change security-role? try to use ant task (perhaph you need xpath also). itÂ´s the better when you perform task about lifeÂ´s cycle of application.
please, describe your problem.
of course in you change web.xml you must restart the application.

Is there a API to change user name in portal security realm

Our portal application requires the functionality to change user login name which
maps to the user_name in USER_SECURITY table.
The com.bea.p13n.usermgmt.UserManager does not offer a API to change user name, so
my code changed it directly in the USER_SECURITY table by JDBC.
My concern is : other tables in portal db may also has the user_name which are not
be changed correspondingly, this may cause problem which I don't see now (e.g. Entity
table has user_name also).
Question is: is there a safe way to change user_name consistantly in portal database?
like a API or do I have to do it myself. If it is the second case, what other tables
I need to change.
Thank you for all your input.
Ellen

Have the web service API URLs changed?

I'm currently in the beginning stages of working with the iTunes U Web Service API, and I'm running into an issue.
Step 2 of uploading a web services document (pg 50 of the admin guide) says to request an upload URL. The base URL for this request:
https://deimos.apple.com/WebObjects/Core.woa/API/GetUploadURL
doesn't seem to be valid. I am receiving 404 errors:
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd">
<html>
<head>
<title>404 Not Found</title>
<meta name="generator" content="Indigo">
</head>
<body>
Not Found
The requested URL /WebObjects/Core.woa/API/GetUploadURL was not found on this server.
</body>
</html>
I've tried added the identifier path but still no luck. Just to be clear, I am generating and sending a proper authorization token; the issue is that the destination URL seems to be invalid.
Have the API URLs changed or am I missing something?
Thanks

Hi Chris,
A couple of things ...
First is that you want to read page 54 of latest admin guide.
Nextly, the basic way to access the API hasn't changed ... Apple has changed the XSD and the specifics of the API itself ... but not the way you call it. That's been pretty steady since I've been messing with it.
The base URL should look like this:
https://deimos.apple.com/WebObjects/Core.woa/API/GetUploadURL/your-university.ed u.111.222.333
"111.222.333" is called a "handle" and it uniquely specifies a resource (track, cover image, etc.) within iTunes U. "111.222" is a path to the resource "333".
After the base URL, you have to add the same kind of token string that you would for "Browsing" iTunes U ... that is a string in the form ...
credentials=foo&identity=user&time=123456&signature =abc123abc&type=XMLControlFile
A question mark "?" separates the base URL from the token string. Whatever you do, do -not- forget the type=XMLControlFile! The manual does not emphasize that you need to add this token, but you must to use the API.

Is there an API to change Release Method

Hi,
I need to update Approved Supplier Lists' Release Method from 'Automatic Release' to 'Release Using AutoCreate' for all items in an org. Is there an API that I can use for this mass update?

Hi Arun,
Welcome to Forum !!!!!!!
We don't think there is any API which can be used as Mass Update for your requirement. However you can use DATALOAD script to change Release method from 'Automatic Release' to 'Release Using AutoCreate'.

API - To change user details

If you create Portal users through the API and then amend user
detail via the API using wwsec_api.modify_user then you find that
when the user logs into Portal, there details aren't visible from
the maintain user screen.
How do we synchronize the data we have just added via the API
call into, presumably the Portal30 schema?
It can be seen that their details on portal30_sso.wwsec_person$
are correct, however the corresponding table in the portal30
schema still contains the old user information. How can we
synchronize the two ? Preferably using an API
call?

Hi,
This should work:
com.sapportals.portal.security.usermanagement.IUser user = WPUMFactory.getUserFactory().getEP5User(request.getUser());
Make sure you added a sharing reference for "com.sap.km.application" in your portalapp.xml.

Changing user password in Active Directory using the JNDI GSS-API/Kerberos5

Hello,
I am trying to the JNDI GSS-API to change a user password on an Active Directory Server 2003. I have seen a variation of this using SSL on the thread [*http://forums.sun.com/thread.jspa?threadID=592611&start=0&tstart=0*|http://forums.sun.com/thread.jspa?threadID=592611&start=0&tstart=0]
but I can't seem to make this work using the GSS-API. I can successfully create a javax.security.auth.login.LoginContext.LoginContext and then call the login method on it to log in as a user. I then call the javax.security.auth.Subject.doAs() method which calls the run method in a class extending the javax.security.PrivilegedActionClass. But when I actually try to change the password using InitialDirContext.modifyAttributes(), I get the exception:
*javax.naming.OperationNotSupportedException: [LDAP: error code 53 - 00002077: SvcErr: DSID-03190DC9, problem 5003 (WILL_NOT_PERFORM), data 0*
*If anyone can help me figure out why it doesn't work, that would be great!*
P.S: I know the error seems to suggest that there might be some active directory setting that is preventing this from working, but I've checked all relevant settings on the Windows 2003 server Active Directory that I can think of: In the User properties->Account->Account options, I've made sure the user can change password. Also, in the Group Policy->Computer Configuration->Windows Settings->Security Settings->Account Policies->Password Policy, Maximum password age is zero and so is minimum password age.

}The relevant entry in the JAAS.conf file that is referred to as "marker" in the LoginContext constructor is:
marker {
com.sun.security.auth.module.Krb5LoginModule required client=TRUE;

This is one of the two Active Directory operations I have never solved using Java/JNDI. (FYI the other one is Cross Domain Move).
My gut feel is that the underlying problem (which happens to be common to both Change Password & X-Domain Move) is that Java/JNDI/GSSAPI does not negotiate a sufficiently strong key length that allows Active Directory to change passwords or perform cross domain moves when using Kerberos & GSSAPI.
Active Directory requires at a minimum, 128 bit key lengths for these security related operations.
In more recent Kerberos suites and Java versions, support for RC4-HMAC & AES has been introduced, so it may be possible that you can negotiate a suitably string key length.
Make sure that your Kerberos configuration is using either RC4-HMAC or AES and that Java is requesting a strong level of protection. (You can do this by adding //Specify the quality of protection
//Eg. auth-conf; confidentiality, auth-int; integrity
//confidentiality is required to set a password
env.put("javax.security.sasl.qop","auth-conf");
//require high strength 128 bit crypto
env.put("javax.security.sasl.strength","high"); in your ChangePasswordAction class.
You may also want to enable sasl logging in your app to see what exactly is going on and you may also want to check on the Java Security forum how to configure/enforce/check both RC4-HMAC or AES is used as the Kerbeos cipher suite and that a string key length is being used.
Good luck.

Seems to work great in the People form (PERWSHRG), but does not seem to work consistently when a new employee is entered through a template like Enter Employees (PERWSQHM).
Does anyone know if you can use an API User Hook to initialize a value on one o the tables the API is inserting? For example, could I put a "Before Process" user hook on the "Create_ Employee" API to change the value of a descriptive flexfield?
Any other good ideas?
Currently I have a concurrent request that runs once every 30 minutes to default the descriptive flexfield. The delay is causing issues.

In such cases you should write the code to default the values in the front end PUIs. As one person pointed out, User hooks are provided either to validate the already entered values, or to insert/update data in some custom tables but not for updating values in the same table where data is being inserted/updated.
BTW for your information:-
Person form (People Enter and Maintain) does not use APIs so anything written inside the user hook would be ignored by the application when this form is used. (The reason is this is one of the oldest form in HRMS, was created even before the concept of user hook came).
Template form PERWSQHM uses APIs, so user hook is called when this form is used to create/update the data.
Hope this is useful.

Public API for contract group change

Hi,
Does anyone know of a public API to change contract grouping? The only one I found is a private API: OKC_CGC_PVT.update_row.
TIA,
Alka.

Thanks Nagamohan. I did look at the package, but did not notice "update_contract_grpngs" procedure in it.....need to pay more attention :-)
