Approval by one out of a group

Hi,
Many scenarios we are looking at using GP for requires an approval step where only one person from a group of people need to approve the process at one of the steps. I know it can be setup so that the person submitting it for approval can choose one person from a group to send it to, but is there a way of having it go to the group of approvers and only one needs to approve (or reject) it? Our concern is that if they pick one person from the group and that person is on vacation, etc. it would slow down the completion of the process.
Thanks,
Cindy

Hi Cindy,
Yes, this is possible with GP. This is done by adding the users or roles to the Process Role that contains the Approval Action. The Approval action will be marked completed after the first user approves it. This is the default behavior of GP.
To add several users to a Process Role at design time, please see this <a href="http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04s/helpdata/en/96/b48c42ee585551e10000000a1550b0/frameset.htm">documentation on how to "Define Defaults"</a>. The reason that it is called "Defaults" is because this is done at design time and you could override this at runtime.

Austin

Picking a Max value row out of a group of rows.

Hi,
I'm using Oracle 10.2.0.4.0
For some reason I can't come up with a way to pick out a simple row that contains the max date value out of a group of sub group of rows. The following rows are one group of the result of a complex view ordered by ACCOUNT_NUMBER. I'm just showing the first group for Demo Purposes.
CUSTOMER_NAME          ACCOUNT_NUMBER     BOOKED_DATES     OUTSTANDING_APPROVALS     BOOKED_NOT_BILLED         SALES
ABC company, LLC     114943          05/22/2008                   11:17:05           100,072.43          100,072.43
ABC company, LLC     114943          06/30/2008                   15:12:29           129,956.00          129,956.00
ABC company, LLC     114943          07/30/2008                   15:57:16           10,957.00          10,957.00This is just the first of many groups in this view. I just need a simple way to select the row with the max BOOKED_DATES. I've tried everything I could think of but the other two rows are not going away. MAX(BOOKED_DATES) is not working in the HAVING section. I just want my out output to be the rows out of each group with the most recent BOOKED_DATES.
Therefor , my output would be
CUSTOMER_NAME          ACCOUNT_NUMBER     BOOKED_DATES     OUTSTANDING_APPROVALS     BOOKED_NOT_BILLED         SALES
ABC company, LLC     114943          07/30/2008                   15:57:16           10,957.00          10,957.00for ACCOUNT_NUMBER 114943. For the truly curious, the query is below. I'm sure the solution is simple but not to me this day. Maybe it's a Monday thing.
Thanks in Advance.

Getting more than one result from regex groups

Thanks to everyone in advance -
I cannot seem to figure out why I wouldnt receive multiple groups back from this match. I would assume I would receive:
[hello]
[john]
instead i am getting:
[hello]
[hello]
It seems like the regex stops after the first match is found, which leads me to believe that it has to do with some sort of flag -
     String Format = "[hello] my name is [sam]";
          String RegexPattern = "(\\[.*?\\])";
          Pattern MyPattern = Pattern.compile(RegexPattern, Pattern.CASE_INSENSITIVE | Pattern.DOTALL );
          Matcher MyMatcher = MyPattern.matcher(Format);
          if(MyMatcher.find()) {
               for(int i = 0; i <= MyMatcher.groupCount(); i++) {
                    out.print(MyMatcher.group(i) +"<br>");
          }Thanks,
Sam

Groups are a static concept. You only have one group.
while(MyMatcher.find()) {
    out.print(MyMatcher.group(1) +"<br>");
}

IQ03 - one time customer account group not shown in ship-to party field

Hi,
Anyone can help out this?
In IQ03, for one time customer account, ship-to party field not updated. For others account group is updated.
Is this SAP standard setting that not shown the ship-to/sold-to details in IQ03 for one time customer account?
Thanks in advance.

Update some details:
1. Our one-time customer account group setting is customized from standard one time customer account.
2. Partner determination done same as sold-to party.
I came accross this "One time customer do not have partner functions tab (no SP, BP, PY, SH) active.... " in Thread: One time customer Posted by Bageerath Chery.
Can anyone explain further on this?
As if this is standard, meaning can explain why one-time customer not shown in ship-to field although the setting at equipment > Assign Partner Determination Procedure to Equipment Category done.
Or any else setting to check? Pls advise..

Is it possible to list out CATALOG ITEMS GROUP in a Query Result of a Request Offering??

Hi Experts,
Is it possible to list out CATALOG ITEMS GROUP as a result of Query Result in Request Offering ?? Because each and every Catalog Items Groups are being created as a SingleTon Child Class of System.CatalogItemGroup. i.e., Each CatalogItemGroup instance
will have its own singleton class.
Is it possible to list out all CatalogItemGroup Instances consolidatedly in the QueryResult Window??
Though the System.CatalogItemGroup class is an Abstract class, I tried to list out the Classinstances via powershell command as below, which lists all catalog group instances, Note: Actually these are instances of SingleTon
Child Classes
"Get-SCClassInstance -Class (Get-SCClass -Name System.CatalogItemGroup)"
But when I configured the QueryResult window with the "System.CatalogItemGroup" class, it doesn't list out any Group instances in the Porta.......
Am I missing anything, Any suggestions please???
Thanks and Regards, Narayana Babu

Thanks Anton, I already tried that too... But it doesn't list out any Group instances in the Portal.
Since each Catalog Groups are individual Single ton Class instances derived from "System.CatalogItemGroup" class. Therfore If I specify the internal ID of the abstract class "System.CatalogItemGroup" in the tag below, it doesn't list any in the
Portal.... But if I specify ID of any one of the derived singleton class, it does displays the one instance of that particular class..
Thanks and Regards, Narayana Babu

SQL to group the records and apply logic to pick one record from each group

Hi Friends,
I am looking for a query to group the records on certain columns in a table and then from each group I want to pick only one record based on certain rules.

So in my example here we have 2 set of records grouped based on the columns specified.
Also we have one more table, PAGE_RANK, which has a rank corresponding to each ad_page number. Here 1 is higher rank than 2. Hence ad page 'A' takes priority over 'B'. Similarly for all other ad pages.
Now, we need to pick one ad from each group of ads by determining the highest ranked ad page within the group and the value for mult and retail must be replaced with the value that has min(retail/mult). So, using the above data we will have the one having ad page = 'A' and ad page = 'D' as the final results since they have highest ad page rank in their group.
The value for mult and retail values for ad_page 'A' = min (10/5 , 1/1, 15/6) = 1,1(mult,retail).
The value for mult and retail values for ad_page 'D' = min (20/4 , 15/5, 2/1) = 1,2(mult,retail).
Finally I have this query below
SELECT a.file_name,
       a.activity_start,
       a.activity_end,
       a.division,
       a.item_code,

                                                                                                    mult,
       FIRST_VALUE (a.retail) OVER (PARTITION BY a.file_name, a.activity_start, a.activity_end, a.division, a.item_code ORDER BY (a.retail /
                                                                                                                                  a.mult))
                                                                                                  retail,
       FIRST_VALUE (a.ad_page) OVER (PARTITION BY a.file_name, a.activity_start, a.activity_end, a.division, a.item_code ORDER BY (b.RANK))
                                                                                                 ad_page,
       a.forecast,
       a.memo
FROM ad_list a, page_rank b
WHERE a.ad_page = b.ad_pageThis query is giving me all the records but with the values what I wanted in Ad_Page, Mult and Retail columns.
How can I pick only one from each group.

Frank,
You are marvelous.
That is what I was expecting, but basically I want to display the row with highest page rank which is 'A' and 'D' in this case.
So I have changed my query as below using yours :

But that is what I wanted and your input greatly helped me to save lot of time by using in one single query.
Earlier I was using cursor to do that and it was not doing any good performance wise.
Thanks to every body for your time and your efforts.
I appreciate it.
Have fun.

In Ical I lost one of my calendar group, how do I restore it from time capsule

in Ical i lost one of my calendar groups, how do I get it back. I have a time capsule.
thanks

salvsalinas,
Look in your Macintosh HD/Users/yourusername/Library Folder, where you will find a "Calendars" Folder, which can be replaced using Time Machine.
Make sure that you quit iCal before attempting to replace the folder, and choose a timeline when the group last existed.
Good Luck.

Performance Issue - sitting this one out

Hi,
as mentioned in a previous post, I am having serious difficulty with navigation in the grid view. There is no way I am getting any kind of satisfactory scroll movement, either with the mouse nor with the tablet. For a program which is expicitely intended to handle large number of pictures and navigating through them, this is not acceptable.
To make this clear: I love the new features in LR3, especially the noise reduction improvements and the lens corrections; also the fine tuning instruments for sharpening are worth mentioning. However, if I spend most of my time (and nerves) to get to the picture I want to manipulate instead of getting any of my actual work done, it is time to do something about it.
On the ohter hand, LR 2.7 was working just fine; no performance problem (asside from occasional hangups using the correction brush for too long, getting a lot of brush strokes where god himself would't want 'em).
After fiddeling with my graphics card settings, cache settings, even turning off my anti- virus software for testing, and trying what not, I decided to sit this one out: I'll rather use an inferior LR 2.7 that works than a superior LR 3 which doesn't work (talking about contradition in terms...).
So I'll keep on using third- party noise reduction and lens correction software and wait if the adobe engineers find the time to tackle the problem.
Just a finshing thought: distributing menory- hog- software usually is the domain of Microsoft, isn't it? I believe mass- market- compatible software should run (not walk...) on mass- market- hardware.
I hope enough people may comment this in the like of "me, too", so that the adobe guys might take notice.
Thanks,
Mike.

Same for me! Editing pictures with LR3 takes soooooo long on my computer (Win 7 64 bits, Intel Core i7 860 , ATI Radeon 48700, 4 Go RAM) that is it not possible to work. LR3 is using 60% of my RAM each time I zoom in the picture, chnage picture or do a local correction. It often crashes. Open in PS CS4 can be painful too.
Listening to Victoria Bampton's advice, I have deleted the lrpreview folder and rebuilt the standard preview. FOr a few days it worked bbetter, but after imprting a bunch of pictures, it is slow again.
Photo is my job and LR my every day tool. I hope the fix will come very soon, just can't wait!

Question
I have one out of five email address's with coxmail that opens with a blank inbox. Other browsers like opera or IE show the content of the same inbox. I've contacted cox but they tell me the problem is on my computer. I've used three different anti virus/malware scanners to eliminate all the bugs they can find. I need a firefox guru with suggestions. Thanks, Charles

You can undo your permission changes. Probably the most relevant one is cookies. Try one or both of these methods:
(1) Page Info > Permissions tab
While viewing a page on the site:
* right-click and choose View Page Info > Permissions
* Alt+t (open the classic Tools menu) > Page Info > Permissions
(2) about:permissions
In a new tab, type or paste '''about:permissions''' and press Enter. Allow a few moments for the list on the left to populate, as this information needs to be extracted from a database.
Then type or paste ''rcn''' in the search box above the list to filter it to the most relevant domains. When you highlight a domain, you can adjust its permissions in the right pane.
Any luck?

Hi Saravnan......
Thy this Approval Query and just put the Group Code for your customer in this group code's inverted comma....
SELECT Distinct 'TRUE' From OCRD T0 Where T0.Balance>0 and GroupCode=' '
And T0.CardCode=$[ORDR.CardCode.0]
If above does not work then use below...

How does schedule with RESTful API a Webi report for a group of users ("Schedule For" to "Schedule for specified users and user groups" with one or more users/groups)?

SAB BO 4.1 SP1
Does it have an RESTful API to schedule a Webi report with the parameter to specify a group of users ("Schedule For" to "Schedule for specified users and user groups" with one or more users/groups)?

Hello Ricardo,
have you try a call like this one ?
    <schedule>
      <name>"test"</name>"
      <format type=\"webi\"/>
      <destination>
        <inbox>
         <to>userId1,userId2,userId3,groupId1,groupId12</to>

How to only synchronize one specific LDAP user group with SAP?

Hi,
Hopefully this is the correct forum to post this in. I want to have continuous one-way synchronization of users from my LDAP server to my SAP central system. I've started configure in SAP using transaction SM59 and LDAP. Can I somewhere set that only one specific LDAP user group shall be transferred to SAP (they do not need to be assigned to any specific group, profile, role in SAP) - or should this be done on the LDAP server side (or is it at all possible)?
Correct me if I'm wrong, but the User Group field in the report RSLDAPSYNC_USER only concerns SAP user groups right? This would therefore not be sufficient since I want to select the users to synchronize based on user groups in the directory.
Thanks, Oscar

We've used a repository constant to specify the LDAP filter for reading users / groups from the LDAP target.
E.g. LDAP_FILTER_USERS (&(objectCategory=person)(objectClass=user))
Then we also have a constant for the LDAP_STARTING_POINT
For our AD Group Initial Load we filter according to these settings:
LDAP_FILTER_GROUPS = (objectclass=group)
LDAP_STARTING_POINT_GROUPS = ou=IDMManagedGroups,ou=Groups,dc=cfstest,dc=le,dc=ac,dc=uk
The above example only reads AD groups starting at the specified OU
Then in a Job From LDAP Pass the LDAP URL looks like this:
LDAP://%$rep.LDAP_HOST%:%$rep.LDAP_PORT%/%$rep.LDAP_STARTING_POINT_GROUPS%?*?SUB?%$rep.LDAP_FILTER_GROUPS%
I hope this helps

[JS InDesign CS3] Style groups, begone! (or: How do I take paragraph and character styles out of style groups?)

Sorry for this question (and my terrible English, by the way), I'm a javascript noob and I know when I've reached my limits.
Well, I'm trying to take a set of paragraph and character styles out of the style groups they are placed in, in hundreds of InDesign documents (that cannot be treated as a book). As far as I've tried (thanks to the invaluable help of previous posts in this forum) I've been able to move a style into a group and change it's position inside the group, inside the root level or even between groups. But it doesn't matter how I try, I don't know which move reference should I try in case I want to take every style out of their style group and place them after their original group folder, at the [Root] style level .
I have tried:
var doc=app.activeDocument;
var pGroups=doc.paragraphStyleGroups;
for (i=pGroups.length-1; i>=0; i--){
     var pStylesInGroup=pGroups[i].paragraphStyles;
     for (j=pStylesInGroup.length-1; j>=0; j--){
// Here I am, trying to move a style outside the folder that contains it, and failing miserably.
          pStylesInGroup[j].move (LocationOptions.after, pGroups[i]);
It didn't work, the script sent an invalid parameter value in the reference field, so I cant use the group folder itself as reference.
Tried other (obviously wrong) solutions, like use the first available style as reference. Therefore, my second script was
var doc=app.activeDocument;
var pStyles=doc.allParagraphStyles;
var pGroups=doc.paragraphStyleGroups;
for (i=pGroups.length-1; i>=0; i--){
     var pStylesInGroup=pGroups[i].paragraphStyles;
     for (j=pStylesInGroup.length-1; j>=0; j--){
// Now I try placing the styles after the [Basic Paragraph], that is, the second paragraph style in the document style list
          pStylesInGroup[j].move (LocationOptions.after, pStyles[1]);
It didn't work either, another invalid parameter in the reference field. Similar results with my other attempts (I even tried "[Root]" as literal with similar luck).
So, my question is: Which command (or script, in case my whole approach is utterly wrong) should I use to achieve my goal?
Thanks in advance to whoever decides to spend more than a minute thinking about my humble worries, and my apologies for shamelessly ripping some of your lines of code for my purposes.

Okay, tried a few things and got really weird results!
1. You can move a style around inside its group.
2. You can move a style out of a group "to" another, but it will appear 'inside' that style. I got my test style as a sub-item of [Basic Paragraph], using index #1. With index #0 ([No Paragraph Style]) InDesign crashed.
3. You can duplicate the style, but then you get a copy in the same group. Still no luck.
4. Finally! What is the parent of a paragraph style?
Document | Application | ParagraphStyleGroup
"Application" is easy -- that's when you make a style global. So what's the difference between 'Document' and 'paragraphStyleGroup'? Simple -- well, when you finally get it...
pStylesInGroup[j].move (LocationOptions.AT_END, doc);
moves the style out of the group and to the end of the list in the document. I don't think it's possible to move it directly to a specific position into the main style list -- you first have to move it out of a group, then move it around in its own list.
Fortunately, it returns its new position as a ParagraphStyle again, so if needed, you can use
newStyle = pStylesInGroup[j].move (LocationOptions.AT_END, doc);
newStyle.move (LocationOptions.AFTER, pStyles[1]);
-- I didn't really try that out, but it should work.

Approval by one out of a group
