Approval Activation for data import

Hi,
I will be importing my sales order, purchase order, GRPO and Delivery through DTW. However I want all these transactions to be subject to approvals. But when I imported a PO through DTW it bypassed the approval procedures. Please let me know if this is how it works or I need to change the way I am importing the transaction.
Thanks

Dear Kapil,
You just restrict user for data import but In standeard system you cant set approval for data import.

XML or Excel for data importing

I´m rookie in Indesign and I must create a catalogue of products. What are the basic differences between import files in Excel and xml?

If you have to ask me then the answer is probably no.
But if you are an expert in XML, then the answer is definitely yes.
But I'm not an expert.
I recall that my first exposure to XML, a few years back, involved a huge catalog. They gave me XML files -- I didn't know what to do with them, so I converted them to a kind of tagged text and processed them as paragraphs.
But the XML was mal-formed and they were at a loss. They were backing the information out of a web site. I asked them where the original data was stored. They said Excel files. So I had them send me the Excel files and the project moved forward at high speed.
It all depends on what you're familiar with.

Where does it tell me who I am approving this install for?----- Approval Activity for a Software Installation

SN

So there is a concept in Zen Buddhism "Mu" or "Wu" (no relation to
James Randi's "Woo", thou one could probably pass for the other under cursory examination in poor lighting) which roughly translates to "Not a thing", and this sometimes is contextualized as "the question is
unanswerable" or "a question wrongly asked".
I raise this because I have rarely seen a question more wrongly asked then this.
First, it is customary to present your question in the body of the post, not in the title. this is not the daily mail, and you are not competing for eyeballs. no need to compress the whole
story into a four word headline. frequently, responders (such as myself; doing this in our spare time between real work or after hours on personal time) will frequently skip over your title and look to the body for needs and details, because
this is the larger field where they are likely to be.
Second, some context can have profound implications. The phrases "I am the process engineer" or "I am a manager of a team" included in this post would drastically change
the response. If you are a team manager, then you could click the parent work item link and see who the affected user is. If you are the process engineer, then you should look to create notifications that alert managers with the vital details, such as software
required and requesting user, and allow them to respond without dropping into the portal, which is notoriously unfriendly, due to it's generic nature. Neither response is useful to the other audience, and I have no way of knowing from this post which category
you fall into.
Third, it is the height of impropriety to dump a vaguely framed comment and a image into a forum and expect the participants to magically, psychically, or laboriously divinate your requirements.
State explicitly your need in the first or second sentence of the first or second paragraph. if you listen to the podcast "Hello Internet", CGP Grey
has a long and extremely informative rant regarding grabbing the readers attention and providing them the required information to categorize your need. in this case, I am falling into the Brady camp of "perhaps this person has a good conception, but just needs
a little direction to get off the ground" rather then the more brutally deterministic "delete, delete, delete, flag, respond" model that Grey advocates. please do not prove my trust invalid.
Finally, do not expect
an instantaneous ready made answer perfectly fitted to your situation. Service manager, specifically, and all Service delivery processes in general are, by necessity,
messy and approximate. I'm not even going to address the
pareto principle; instead, i'll simply observe that each business is going to have slightly different priorities, requirements, threat levels, considerations, etc. that are going to mess with any out of the box solution. it's much like clothing: you
can wear what's on the rack, have it right now and just accept that it's going to bit a bit loose or a bit tight in places, or you can pay extra, wait longer and work with an expert tailor.
Hopefully this gives you the information you need to both resolve your requirement (assuming you read closely enough to identify it, rather then just
flipping the table because I cam criticizing your tact) and provides the tools to help you become a more informed and happier member of this community.

Import Manager Usage : Approaches for developing Import file structure and text validations

Hi Experts,
We are having 50+ import maps. We have provided option to users to drop the files for data import. Currently Import Manager(7.1 Sp08) does not have capability of pre-import validation of file data such as
a. file structure - number of columns specific to import map
b. file text validations - special characters, empty lines, empty cells
c. Uniqueness of the records in the file
For this, we are planning to build temporary folder(port specific) in which user drops in the file. We use the custom development to do above mentioned validations and then move the files to actual import ports.
Please let us know if you have worked on similar requirements and how you have fulfilled such requirements.
Regards,
Ganga

Hi Ganga,
Assuming you have a well defined xsd and are getting valid xmls from source in the Inbound Port of MDM. Also,you have a Primary key in form of External ID (say).
So just by making and defining a XSD you get most of what you want in your questions a and b.
Now if you wish to use PI to drop files in the inbound port then you can build all the validations in PI itself and you would not need Staging table.
Otherwise,you can have another table (preferably Main table) in the same repository or other dummy repository where records are created on import based on External ID.
Here you can launch an MDM workflow on import of these records and run assignments to replace unwanted characters and Validations to give error for rejecting some records based on the data quality level desired.Once unwanted characters are removed and data is validated it can be syndicated using a syndication step in the Workflow.So records which fail are not sent and which pass are sent to a outbound port.
From the outbound port PI or some other job can pick the file from this outbound folder and drop to Inbound folder of the same repository which imports to the required Primary Main table.Here again you have the option to leverage validations in PI and further check if data is fine.
Once this activity is done you can delete the records from the staging table.
Thanks,
Ravi

Import Tab Active for a PO.. Reason?

Hi
For one purchase order, we got the import tab got active. We need to know the possible reasons why it got activated suddenly for this PO and we dont want that tab.
Regards
Vijay

what is country of your vendor, what is the country of your plant?
if you use storage location with adresses, then what is the country for this location?
if you have a delivering address maintained in the PO, then what is the country?
By default SAP settings are made to have import data tab if it is a business between 2 different countries belonging both to the EU.
you can switch this off in IMG > SD > Foreign Trade > Control Foreign Trade Data in MM and SD Documents > Import Screens In Purchasing Document
here you have following options:
' '          Call up import data screens in the case of EU import only
1         Call up import data screens for every import
2         Never call up import data screens
3         Always call up import data screen
Enter a 2 for your company code, then you will never get this screens

DTW importing activity for contact persons

Hello All
SAP B1 V 9.0 and DTW 900.52.1
I am trying to export data from one software and import into SAP Business one using the DTW.
I have imported my business partners as well as the contact persons associated with the business partners successfully using DTW OCRD and OCPR.
My next step is to export from previous software the activity associated with each contact person.
For example I have business partner C0001 and many contact persons under C0001. Business partner C0001- contact person Jane Doe, John Doe, John Smith etc. What I am trying to accomplish is import activity to SAP B1 for each contact person (Jane Doe, John Doe, etc) using the DTW. I cannot seem to figure out how to import the data so that it is associated with correct contact person for the appropriate business partner? I can import the activity for the business partner but not for each contact person.
Any advice greatly appreciated.
Can I create a query to obtain the CntcCode from OCLG when no activity has been created?

Problem solved
I was trying to obtain the internal number associated with all OCLG Contact Person regardless if they had any activities. I needed the information to migrate activities from and old system into SAP. Selecting cntctcode from contact person will not generate the internal codes from OCLG and you will receive a data not found error. Only the contact persons with activity would be produced. I received some additional assistance and got the following query to work.
select t1.cntctcode as CntctCodeFromOCPR,t1.name as ContactPersonFromOCPR,t0.cardcode,t0.cardname,t0.CntctPrsn from ocrd t0
join ocpr t1 on t0.cardcode=t1.cardcode

How to retrieve comments from one OfficeTask activity and use them in another OfficeTask activity for Multi level Approval sequential Workflow

I'm designing a sequential site workflow using Visual Studio 2010 for Project Server 2010. In my case, I have following 6 stages in the workflow:
1. InitialProposal Stage
2. Approval Stage1 -- Needs approval from Approver Project Security Group Members1
3. Rejection Stage
4. Approval Stage2 -- Needs approval from Approver Project Security Group Members 2
5. Execution Stage
6. Completed Stage
Requirement is workflow should move to Approval stage2 from Approval stage1 if approved by all members of Approver Project Security Group1and it should move to Rejection Stage even if a single member rejects it.
Workflow should move from Approval Stage2 to Execution Stage if approved by all members of Approver Project Security Group2 and it should move back to Approval Stage1 on rejection by a single member of the group.
I'm using inbuilt PSWApproval content type and OfficeTask activity for creating approval task for the group members at both stages.
On task rejected in Approval stage2, task will be assigned again to Approval Stage1 and I want to show comments given by members of Approver Project Security Group2 to the members of Approver Project Security Group1 with this assigned task
but I'm not able to retrieve comments from officeTask activity.
My question is where exactly these comments are saved? how can we retrieve them and use them in another officetask activity? If this is not possible then what is the possible solution for meeting above mentioned business requirement?

Hi Paul,
Thanks for your suggestion.
By comments field I'm assuming OfficeTask.Comments field. Problem is, this field is always null. I tried accessing this field in CheckExitCondition activity as well as in OnTaskCompleted but in both the cases, it was null only(I wrote comments while approving
the task).
I used a code activity within OnTaskCompleted activity and following code for accessing Comments and Description fields:
public string officeComments;
public string officeDescription;
private void TaskCOmplete(object sender, EventArgs e)
CodeActivity Sender = (CodeActivity)sender;
Microsoft.Office.Workflow.Actions.OfficeTask ofctask1 = ((CompositeActivity)Sender.Parent).Parent as Microsoft.Office.Workflow.Actions.OfficeTask;
officeComments = ofctask1.Comments;
officeDescription = ofctask1.Description;
Please tell me if I'm doing anything wrong here, I'm very new to Workflows. Also, do I need to set any specific property of officeTask for retriving comments?
Thank you

Data import for users of forms created with Livecycle Designer

Hello,
I have seen several posts regarding data import for forms created by Livecycle Designer but nothing that helps with something I am trying to accomplish. I can create a data connection and import information in a form but what I would like to do is import data, then send the pdf for completion to a user. There are a few data elements that I have available and the rest of the information comes from from the user. The problem I run into is once I create a data connection, the pdf is ALWAYS looking for the source file for that data. I simply want to prepopulate some fields and send to the various users for completion. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

Which type of Data Connection are you trying to create?
XML Schema, Sample Data File or WSDL?
Creating any one of first two types(mentioned above) will only create schema and will never import any data into PDF.
If you create the WSDL connection, you can surely import data (i.e. prepopulate data) into your PDF and forward it for users review/fill.
If I misunderstood your question, please get me clarified.

I doubt you'll get an answer in a user forum, sorry. This forum is meant for users to help other users when they have problems that have to be solved. You should contact Adobe itself.

How to search a .csv file for data using its timestamp, then import to labview

Hi, I'm currently obtaining density, viscosity and temperature data from an instrument, adding a timestamp and writing it to a .csv file which I can view in Excel. This works fine (see attached code) but what I need to do now is to search that csv file for data which was obtained at a certain time, import the temperature, density & viscosity values at this time back into Labview to do some calculations with them, while the data acquisition process is still ongoing.
I've found various examples on how to import an entire csv file into labview, but none on how to extract data at a specific time. Also, whenever I try to do anything with the .csv file while my data acquistion VI is running, I receive error messages (presumably because I'm trying to write to and import data from the .csv file simultaneously). Is there some way around this, maybe using case structures?
If you need to know my skill level, I've been using Labview for a few weeks and prior to that have basically no experience of writing code, so any help would be great. Thanks!
Solved!

It sounds as if you are going about this a little backwards writing to a data file and then extracting from the file but its the weekend so I can't think of an improved way to do it at the moment.
Searching for a specific time with those specific values is quite easy, or if you wanted to select any time then you could interpolate the values to find any value that you want (This is where the contiguous measurement comes in, as you have readings at discrete times you will have to interpolate the values if you want to get the 'measured value' at a time point that is not exactly one of your measured points).
If you can extract the TDMS time column and the T, D & V then simply thresholding and interpolating each of your array/data sets should allow readings at your desired times.

Data Import from Excel for Items

I have used the data import for items, in the past , to import the prices for existing item. I am using this for the first time in SAP version 9.0. There are new fields due to the additional currencies. In an running a test with two items and two price list codes, code 1 and code 10. When I run the import gets stuck in a loop and keeps giving me errors on line 1 with invalid price code.
I want to import two price lists Price List 1 and Price List 10. For example I want price list 1 to be $10.00 and price lit 10 to be $5.00
In the import from excel I have the following fields
A Item Number
B Price List Code
C Unit Price - Primary Currency
D Primary Currency
E Unit Price - Additional Currency 1
F Additional Currency 1
G Unit Price - Additional Currency 2
H Additional Currency 2
I UoM Code
J Price List Code
K Unit Price - Primary Currency
L Primary Currency
M Unit Price - Additional Currency 1
N Additional Currency 1
O Unit Price - Additional Currency 2
P Additional Currency 2
Q UoM Code
I am using the following columns
A item number
B 1
C 10.00
J 10
K 5.00
This is the way I use this function in SAP versions 2007 and 8.8
Any suggestions

Hi Gordon,
I tried what you suggested, but does not work. I tried with two items, when I run the import SAP gets stuck in a loop displaying error lines. The only way to stop is to restrt SAP.
I attched a screen shot of the error

OBIEE 10g/11g RPD as a Data Source - Driver Name for metadata imports

Hi,
I'm trying to use OBIEE's RPD as a relational source in Informatica 9.5.1 PowerCenter Designer. I have the ODBC connection to the OBIEE's BI Server and can connect to it. I'm using OBIEE 10.1.3.4.1 (I also need to do something similar with OBIEE 11g). I've posted this question to the Informatica forum as well.
In order to use OBIEE as a third-party relational data source, Informatica needs OBIEE's DLL for metadata imports.
I've tried, with no luck, NQSODBC.DLL & NQSDRIVER.DLL.
Does anyone know what DLL it might be? It could be an issue on Informatica's end as well.
Thanks.

Hi,
For some more details, you can refer to the following document;
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/developer-tools/discoverer/discoverer-metadata-conversion-assi-128504.pdf
My personal expreriences:
The Metadata Conversion Utility is an accellerator / assistant. It does not provide you with an end product. There is some additional handwork requiered. It could be a risk when you copy an old Oracle Discoverer environment. Shit in is shit out. Last but not least; There is not yet a workbook migration utility.

Missing "Add Records" and "Refresh Records" options for data sets post domain re-import

We recently had to re-install the Endeca server and as part of which had to export and re-import the data domains. Everything went fine except for the fact that newly re-imported data sets showcase just the "Manage Attributes" and the "Delete Data Set" options for an administrator login in. The previously available options to "Add Records" and "Refresh Records" beyond manage attributes/Delete Data Set are missing.
Thoughts? Is there a security setting to enable these?

So are you talking about the Add Records and Reload Records options for a data set in Studio?
There are no separate security settings for these options. If a user is an application administrator (is able to edit the application), then they should have access to these options.
The options are only available for data domains created using the Provisioning Service (created by uploading a file or from the JDBC or BI Server data source from the Data Source Library).
I don't know if the process of exporting and re-importing the data domains (not sure how you did that) could somehow cause the data sets to no longer know that they were created by the Provisioning Service, in which case those options would not be enabled.

'Data for last import/Statistics' tab missing for Distributed imports in EMIGALL

Hi experts,
For some reason when I initiate Distributed loads using 'Distributed imports' in EMIGALL, I do not get the third and fourth tabs viz. 'Data for last import' and 'Statistics for import runs' after the loads are triggered. Is there a specific Note that needs to be applied. I checked Notes like 1179843, 780996 however they were relevant for previous releases and I am currently on release 605. Any insights to this problem?
Thanks,
Caroline.

SharedObjects does the trick nicely!
