Assign access for manage approvals.

Hi Folks!
At now I´m trying to test the new Workflow functions in version 11.1.2.
My problem is that, I created a planning unit hierarchy. I assigned some owners and reviwers for each entity in the hierarchy.
But, when I go to "Tools->Manage Approvals" and I try to start a "Plan Cycle", if the Owner of the Selected entity is not an user with "Administrator" rol, its bring me the following Sub-Status:
Failed: Unauthorized New Owner
The user that is the owner of that Entity, has write access to that entity, and also, has the following roles assigned to his group (group that the user is member):
Approvals Ownership Assigner
Approvals Process Designer
Planner
What is the rol needed to be the owner of an entity approval cycle?
Please, any suggestion will be helpufull!
Best regards!
Fabian

Hi Fabian,
Let me break the process of workflow in 3 steps
1. Creating of Planning unit hierarchy, in which you assign owners and reviewers( YOu have dont this - DONE)
2. Assignment of Scenario and Version( thought you have not mentioned, I assume you had done this )
3. Go to Tools -> Manage approvals , here you might see the message
' you have no planning units started for the selected scenario and version'.
If the user is admin, you should be able to see both ' Tree view and Flat view.We need to know that starting a workflow is admin's job i.e administrator has to do this.
Go to Tree view and then you should be able to see the list of planning units,which you have created in step 1 and start it.
Once you start it, as per the assigned owners, the workflow will move ahead.

Assigning access for combinations of dimension members

Security Dilemma Example
     Two Dimensions: Site and Department
          Site Members     Department Members
          Site A     Dept 1
          Site B     Dept 2
          Site C     Dept 3
     Question: Is it possible in BPC version 4.2 SP4 to set up the following access for an user?
     User A needs access to Site A and all departs only for Site A
     User A needs access to Site B and only Dept 2 for Site B
     User A needs access to Site C and only Dept 1 and 3 for Site C
     My understanding is that if a user is given access to all departments, then he would be able to pull those depts for ALL sites he has access to. How can I assign access for combinations of members from different dimensions?

Hi,
Just to understand what you specified,
Site Members Department Members
Site A Dept 1
Site B Dept 2
Site C Dept 3
These 3 Dept's are there in all the 3 Sites. Is my understanding correct?
If that is the case, better would be to maintain 9 IDs for Dept dimension
Dept1_SiteA, Dept2_SiteA, Dept3_SiteA,
Dept1_SiteB............................................
...........................................Dept3_SiteC
That means you have 9 Dept members. Now it becomes very simple to assign access.
I dont think there is any way to assign security to combination of dimensions.
Hope this helps.

Assign access for the database to None with maxl?

I need to assign access to the database to none with maxl. Any help will be appreciated. <img src="i/expressions/beer.gif" border="0">

Do you mean setting the minimum access permission on the database? For that the command is 'alter database 'Sample'.'Basic' set minimum permission no_access;' If you want to prevent users from logging on to the database then use something like 'alter application 'Sample' disable connects;' HTH

What roles to assign for managing comments?

Hi,
I am setting up a separate user role for managing comments, orders, and product inquiries. I am not sure what roles to assign in the user role area. There are areas for approving, deleting and editing comments, but I need them to be able to reply to comments, work on orders, etc. I don't need to give them full Admin access, but there are so many choices, I'm not sure which ones are needed for these tasks...
TIA,
Jeff

Thank you Annett.
It seems, that in SM4 SAP has provided list of authorization objects (in the Excel 'Delta_Information_Customers_EN.xls' and customers should gather a new composite roles of their own.
I consider SAP should have provided a template composite role in standard for Test and test coordinator users.
SAP knows very well the needs of a tester and test coordinator, and STWB_WORK is surely not the only authorziation object needed.
Here are some topics that I consider typical needs for a TESTER in project implementation (in parenthesis a proposal from SAP's Excel):
No authorization for project admin nor SOLAR01, nor SMSY
Display authorization for SOLAR02 (sap_solar02_dis)
Display authorization for SOLAR02 documentation (?derives from sap_solar02_dis?)
Not able to switch to other projects in SOLAR02 (?invidual rights to auth.object S_Project?)
Execute transactions from SOLAR02 (?derives from sap_solar02_dis?)
all rights to STWB_WORK (sap_stwb_work_all) and everything inside it: create message, execute test cases, enter test results
If there are any SDN members having already defined tester and test coordinator composite roles in SM4, I am interested to hear which roles you used.

Restrict read/edit access for a Manager, when Manager Visibility is enabled

Customer wants to restrict read/edit access for a Manager on his/her subordinates' owned record, if manager Visibility is enabled at the company level.
For example: If SM1 is a manager of SR1 and SM1 owner profile says that he has Edit Access on his owned records then, he will get Edit Access
on the records owned by his sales rep.
Current requirement here is Manager should not be able to edit the records of his sales rep but should able to only View. And manager also
need the Edit/Read access on the records which they owned.
Is there a possible workaround ?

I have devised this to our customer:
First, create a custom text field named "Reports To" on the object, say, Accounts.
Second, user JoinFieldValue to set a default value for the "Reports To" field: equal to the "Reports To" User field value for the current owner.
Third, add a new value named "Manager Read-Only" to 'Account Type' picklist. make sure that this picklist value is active.
Fourthly, add a new page layout marking all Account Fields as 'read-only' and name it "Account Read-Only layout".
Fifthly, create a new Account Dynamic Layout and set "Account Read-Only layout"
for Field Type = "Manager Read-Only".
Sixthly, create a new workflow rule condition for Account object ( before modified record saved ). Use the workflow rule condition similar to UserValue('<Alias>') = [<ReportsTo>] and set the workflow action to update 'Account Type' picklist value to
"Manager Read-Only".
This is just an example. Customer needs to improvise on this.
Any more suggestions please ?

How assign a "Project Manager" for a new project?

Hello,
I need to know about the "Project Manager" in a new project.
Does the "Resource Manager" build the team and assign a "Project Manager"?

It totally depends on your organization process.
Normally PMO creates project, build team,assign resources to tasks, then while save and publish the projec assign Project manager as owner for the project plan.
If you have Resource manager in your organization then he can build the team for the project publish it then PMO or project manager can assign the resource to the task then save and publish the plan.
IF project manager has idea about resources then he can also build the team and assign resource to the task.
Note :- once PMO or resource manager build the team and publish the project then Project owner need to open the project plan add new field in the plan STATUS MANAGER and select his name for all task for which he will give the approval to the actual of the
task send by resources.
By default who ever will create project act as STATUS MANAGER for all the task.

Can't access Color Management options for HP 6700 under Mac OS 10.8.5 (Mountain Lion)

Hello.
I've got the HP Officejet 6700 Premium e-All-in-One and I can't find any way to access Color Management options.
The printer is attached (Wi-Fi) to my iMac running Mac OS 10.8.5 (Mountain Lion).
I want to correct a magenta cast to photographs that I've printed. I've had the magenta-cast problem under Lightroom and using Preview to print the photographs, so now I want to work with color profiles in Photoshop Elements.
Photoshop Elements recommends that I "disable color management in the printer preferences dialog".
However, I'm not able to find color management preferences for the 6700 in any of the settings under Mountain Lion:
Not under (Apple) > System Preferences > Print & Scan.
Not under (HP Utility) > Open Embedded Web Server.
Not under (HP Utility) > Printer Settings.
Not under Preview's print dialog.
Nor can I find any clear direction in the online help (at HP or elsewhere) that I've read so far.
Any suggestions would be most appreciated.
Thank you!
Michael
This question was solved.
View Solution.

Please note that in the Print dialog I get "Color Matching" not "Color Management."
Still, I am (at this point) able to control color from Photoshop Elements, so that's good enough to proceed.
Thanks again.

Can't set IE Desktop as default program for Assigned Access

I have searched everywhere for this answer. Kiosk mode/assigned access is excellent. But it appears that you can only use IE Modern (Metro) for assigned access and the problem with that is I have found no way to completely lock down IE Modern.
I can only partially lock it down but users can still get to the address bar and settings very easily.
I either need some advice on setting IE to complete lockdown or how to set IE desktop for Assigned Access.

Perhaps you can create a special application that will be selected for Assigned Access. This application will then start the desktop variant of Internet Explorer (or an intermediate desktop program). There are some articles about such
operation based on Launcher class and custom file association.

"Assign Access Control" returns error for essbase apps in shared services

Hello,
I installed and configured Oracle EPM 11.1.2 (Foundation, Essbase, Planning, Reporting&Analysis):
OS: Windows Server 2008 Sp2 (32bit)
Default Installation with default ports,
Installation of all components on the same server,
no clustering
EPM System Diagnostic says that everything is OK.
Now I want to assign filter access for an essbase database in the Shared Services.
Starting the menu item "Assign Access Control" in Shared Services returns the following error:
Error 404--Not Found
From RFC 2068 Hypertext Transfer Protocol -- HTTP/1.1:
+10.4.5 404 Not Found+
The server has not found anything matching the Request-URI. No indication is given of whether the condition is temporary or permanent.

Can anybody help ???
best regards,
Nicole

Hello,
here's what I found out so far:
I get the error if I start the shared services console via the URL "http://servername:port/interop/index.jsp" and then select the "assign access control" for an essbase database.
If I start the shared services console via the workspace everything works fine.
Does anybody know what to do so that it also works if I start the shared services console via URL?

Best practices for accessing remote management

So, I've been looking into consolidating and moving our servers and such to a colocation datacenter. A problem for me that arises from moving is, what do we do about our remote access?In a private office enviornment, I haven't ever opened up VMWare vCenter to the open internet, nor have I ever opened up DRAC/iLO past our firewall to the net. I've always just had all that management stuff hanging out on its own subnet/VLAN and I haven't ever bothered with giving remote access to anyone, really. (Well, I did once set up a windows box to allow me to RDP in and opened up the firewall for that RDP so I could then access that management VLAN from that PC)Moving to a colocation facility makes me wonder, what does everyone else do for this? Would one have a VPN configured on a router in their colo space and remote in that way, and if the...

Shared services- Access Assign issue for Essbase

Hi All,
I need to associate Filter with a group in Shared Services, but when I go to Application Groups, right click on the Application name and select "Assign access control", but in the list of Groups that come in the very first window, i dont see all the grousp listed there, has anyoen seen thsi issue before and knows teh fix for it?

We dont have direct Role provisioning to teh groups. Here we actualy have a group AllUsers and have added all other grousp as "GRoup membere" to thsi group/ Now this AllUsers group has teh roel provisioned to it. So in such a case, to see the grousp listed under "Assign Access Control" do they need to eb provisioned individually as well at group level, or teh above scenario that I mentioned also works fine?

How can I retrieve/compute an X509 certificate's thumbprint in Python and then use it for accessing Service Management APIs from Python SDK?

Hello,
I am using Azure Python SDK to perform calls to ServiceManagement APIs.
I have a .publishsettings file generated for my account which includes an encoded version of my X509 certificate and all of my subscription IDs.
How can I retrieve/compute an X509 certificate's thumbprint in Python?
Following is the code snippet that helps us do it in .Net.
Is there a similar approach to do it in Python?
var publishSettingsFile = @"C:\temp\CORP DPE Account-11-16-2011-credentials.publishsettings";
XDocument xdoc = XDocument.Load(publishSettingsFile);
var managementCertbase64string = xdoc.Descendants("PublishProfile").Single().Attribute("ManagementCertificate").Value;
var importedCert = new X509Certificate2(Convert.FromBase64String(managementCertbase64string));
thumbprint = importedCert.Thumbprint;
Once I have the thumbprint, how can I use that thumbprint to access Service Management APIs from Python SDK?
Thank you in Advance!

Access Level Management for Lync2013

In Microsoft Communicator 2007, there was an option to set the 'Access Level Management' as a global setting. Is this feature still available in Lync 2013 apart from setting the 'Access Levels' for each contact individually.
Since we migrated from Microsoft Communicator 2007 to Lync2013 and we needed to change some 'Access Levels', I wasn't able to do so. So would like to check if this feature can be enabled or disabled at the global level.
Thanks. Any suggestions would be highly appreciated.
BR,
Frieda

Hi,
In Lync 2013, you can view the contact in turn of Relationship as following:
You can modify the relationship of the contact by right click the contact, and choose "Change Privacy Relationship", then you can choose the relationship you want such as Workgroup, Blocked Contacts.
