Assigning Numeric Identifiers Based on Group

Hi there,
Currently I have a set of data consisting of an unique identifier (ID), four product properties (Brand.1.1, Brand.1.2, ...), and a preference.
What I would like to do is for each product category (i.e. Brand, Price, and Preference) is assign numeric identifiers to values - that is, common values will be assigned the same identifier within each category. If possible, I would also like a legend to be
created automatically. It is possible that the same input exists in different categories, but they should not be seen as equivalent to each other.
My current method involves creating a chart of unique values for each category and using lookup functions but this is a slow process when I have multiple product categories to go through (Size, Price, Brand, Warranty, Features, Delivery, etc.).
Example:
ID
Brand.1.1
Brand.1.2
Price.1.1
Price.1.2
Preference
ID001
Apple
Cereal
50
25
Cereal
ID002
Cereal
Bread
32
41
Cereal
ID003
Bread
Apple
50
32
Apple
ID004
Cereal
Eggs
41
25
Eggs
Assign numeric values:
Brand.1.1
Brand.1.2
Price.1.1
Price.1.2
Preference
ID001
1
3
1
2
1
ID002
3
2
3
4
1
ID003
2
1
1
3
2
ID004
3
4
4
2
3
Legend:
Brand:
Apple - 1
Bread - 2
Cereal - 3
Eggs -4
Price:
$50 - 1
$25 -2
$32 -3
$41 -4
Preference: (Notice how it has same input-values as Brand but doesn't necessarily assign the same numbers since it's a different category)
Cereal -1
Apple -2
Eggs -3
I imagine VBA will be required but any thoughts/help would be appreciated.

Hi,
If you don't want to use VLOOKUP function, also ,you'd like the legend to be created automatically. The only way I can think is VBA code.
As this forum is for discussing Office Client issue, to help you better, I suggest you submit a new case on MSDN forum as they will be more professional on your issue.

Can I assign a task based on information from another column?

For example:
Let's say I have a column called "Question Type" and this column has multiple checkbox choice, those being:
     Math
     Science
     History
     English
     Other
I want to allow users to be able to select multpile catagories for the question, like making one both math and science (which right now is completely possible)
I then want another column that says who the problem is assigned to. Bob is good at math, Joe at science, Jill at histroy, Jenn at English, and Billy handles everything else.
1) Is there a way that the task can be automatically assigned to my math expert Bob when I specify that the item I am adding is a math problem?
2) If I make a problem both math and science, can the task be assigned to both Bob and Joe?
Thanks in advance!

Hi,
According to your post, my understanding is that you wanted to assign a task based on information from another column.
To assign task to multiple users, you need to:
Create a workflow and add action: Start Approval Process.
Click these user, select the Group, change One or a time(serial) to
All at onec(paralle).
Right click the action, select Properties, click ExpandGroups, change No to
Yes.
Then you can assign task to each member of the group.
I recommend to follow the steps as below to achieve what you want:
Create a custom list, add columns: Question Type(Choice); Assigned to(Person or Group).
Create a workflow associated the list.
Add conditions and action as below:
Then the task can be automatically assigned to 123 when the item is a math problem.
In addition, if you make a problem both math and science, the task can be assigned to both 456 and 789.
You can add other conditions to satisfy all the requirements.

Setting Default Dashboard based on Groups/users in OBIEE 10g

Hi,
I am having a requirement and facing some issues with setting a default dashboard option to the users who ever access the application. Below is the brief description of entire requirement.
The main requirement is to integrate OBIEE into a .net and silver light application. We will be having a 3 links in the .net application , which in turn displays the OBIEE reports and dashboards upon clicking the 3 links.
We are using the concept of Init blocks, session variables and Go URL from an OBIEE standpoint for accomplishing this integration requirement. We have also configured LDAP server in OBIEE.
The issue we are facing is out of the 3 links in .net application, we have one link/icon called dashboard icon which should display bunch of OBIEE dashboard pages in the form of 4 tabs but currently it is showing the My Dashboard home page. For this to achieve to set default dashboard page is to go to My account and change the default dashboard to the desired dashboard and log out and log in back to the application and we will be all set with dashboard pages being displayed upon lcking the dashboard icon but this is manual process for each user as they need to login into the .net application and change the setting s in My Account manually to change the default dashboard setting to the desired one.
How should I make sure, whoever is logging into the Application (every user) should be able to see the default dashboard pages without changing the options manually by going to My Account.
The LDAP server is taking care of the Authentication part of the users as every user record is maintained in Active directory which in turn is part of LDAP server.
To brief high level requirement on single statement is  how to make a default dashboard pages to users based on group in OBIEE. Is there any option in OBIEE, where we can change or set a default dashboard to particular group in OBIEE either in RPD or UI level.
Appreciate your help on this.
Let me know if anyone needs any more information in this regard.
Thank
Praveen

You can set 'PORTALPATH'. Have a look at these threads below:

What is an Apple ID "numeric identifier"?

I have attempted, multiple times, to submit a Contact Us inquiry through iTunes Connect this morning but consistently receive the following error message:
"An error occured trying to send your message: You have entered an invalid Apple ID. Your Apple ID is a numeric identifier."
I get this error after I have logged in to iTunes Connect and after I have entered my only Apple ID on the Contact Us form. My Apple ID is an email address and not a numeric identifier. Today is the first time I have encountered this error message. I can find no mention of a "numeric identifier" anywhere in my account details.
Is this something new? And if so, where the **** do I find it?
Thanks,
Walt

That is absolutely absurd. After struggling with this falteral of publishing an ePub formatted eBook and having iTunes Producer make a mess in it's diapers, I am relegated to figuring out why my Apple demanded email address formatted Apple ID does not work in the iTunes Connect help section? This clearly cuts down on the problem reporting and makes iTunes Connect look more trouble free...
And Michi, thank you very much for posting.

Report to see Trial balance based on Group account

Hi Fi Gurus,
I am trying to see verify my GL balances based on group account no ( Group COA GL). is there a standard report that can help me here?
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
"Group Account Number" is available in the dynamic selection in report S_ALR_87012277 in ECC 5.0 and ECC 6.0 also.
When you click on "Dynamic Selection" button, in left hand side double click on "Group Acocunt Number" and then you can enter the values in right hand side for this field. (i.e. after activating the "Group Account Number" in dynamic seleections.)

Assigning the role to the group using MAXL

Hi,
We are using Essbase 11.1.1.3 and Hyperion Financial Reports 11.1.13.
I have created a role called "Standard_user_HFR" in shared Services and assgined Explorer and viewer to the role and i need to assign the role to the groups and i have around 1600 groups to which i have assign the role. Is there any Maxl Script to assign the role to the groups. As of now i am manually adding the role to the group.
Regards,
VJ

Also look into Aggregated Roles to possibly reduce the number of Groups.
Oracle states:
Aggregated roles, also known as custom roles, aggregate multiple predefined application roles. An aggregated role can contain other aggregated roles. For example, a Shared Services Administrator or Provisioning Manager can create an aggregated role that combines the Planner and View User roles of a Oracle Hyperion Planning, Fusion Edition, application. Aggregating roles can simplify the administration of applications that have several granular roles. Global Shared Services roles can be included in aggregated roles. You cannot create an aggregated role that spans applications or products.
Thank you,

Hello Sunil,
The problem is that I have hundreds of users to maintain user groups.
found out that it is possible to assign user group to role and role to user groups. implementing hr authorization with in-direct assignment of auth. So if I could use sq10, user groups could also be link to position in the org chart.
sq10 does allow you to assign a user group to a role but when you assign the role to a user and the user runs a query, it reports that no user group has been assigned.
Suspect that there must be a parameter or switch that is not turned on

Content filters based on Group Best Practice

What is best practice for Content filters based on Group.
What we wanna accomplish.
We have few groups but i'll make an example on two.
We have one group that have allowed "Media" and another group that have allowed "Exe".
What is best practice if one user is in both group.
How would you do Content filtering?
I dont see in Content filtering condition
if (Envelope Recipient does not mach group) then Block.
Is the best way to create first?
If (attachment.type="Media") then (insert header="sometext);
and after in Content filter below
if (Envelope Recipient) and (Header does not contain "sometext") then Block.

Business system * is not assigned to a business system group

I am running XI3.0 (SP12), Oracle 9.2.0.6 on a Windows 2003 Cluster Server.
I am trying to import some config from the Integration Directory from Dev into QA but I am getting the following error:
<b>IMPORT XI 3.0 Design Objects
Business system XIT is not assigned to a business system group with the ID (XISystemGroup)</b>
I have copied my Dev SLD into my QA SLD.
Has anyone else come across the error??

Barry,
You should ideally have assigned Business systems in ur QA landscape to 1 group & Business systems in your dev landscape to another group. Also , hope you have created transport targets for all ur Business systems in dev environment.In ur QA SLD , you should have two entries for each business system , something like
DEV-BS-1 -> transport target -> QA-BS-1
QA-BS-1 -> transport source -> DEV-BS-1
Thanks

System not assigned to any business system group

In transaction /SAPAPO/MAT1 an error occurs when I try to create a new product.
Error message: " System SC1CLNT100 not assigned to any business system group".
When I received this error I created business system group in SLD and assigned my system to this new business system group.
Then I went to transaction RZ70 and executed Data Collector without Job scheduling.
But when start transaction /SAPAPO/MAT1 again the error /SAPAPO/MAT030 still occurs.
What should be done to make changes, which I made in SLD visible for the system?
Thank you in advance,
Kind regards,

I assume you assigned this BSG in the IMG in APO
"As an independent logical system, the APO System must, in addition to the SAP R/3 Systems, be assigned to a business system group (BSG)."

How to assign credit limit to customer group

hi,
sap gurus,
how to assign credit limit to customer group.
can we do that
if we can
plzhelp me
regards,
balaji.t
09990019711.

hi,
You can assign a credit limit to a group of customers, as well as to an individual customer. If a company has different branches, you would define the credit limit for just one customer in this group (the head office) and this customer account then becomes the credit account.
Procedure
To assign a credit account to a branch account, from the Credit Management screen, choose Master data - Change.
Enter the name of your customer, the corresponding credit control area and select the Status indicator.
The system displays the Change Customer Credit Management: Status screen.
Choose the function Edit - Change credit account. In the dialog box that appears, you can enter the credit account (the account number of the customer you are using) to set the credit limit for the entire group.
After you choose ENTER, the system contains the credit limit of the branch as 0.00. The Credit account field displays the account number of the customer for which the reference credit limit is defined.
You can only specify a credit account within a credit control area.
The accumulating total of receivables is recorded both for the reference customer and the "dependent" customer. However, the system checks only against the reference customer as to whether the credit limit has been exceeded.
When displaying the credit account, you can view which customers are referenced to this account. To do this, from the credit account master data screen, choose Edit - Cust. for credit acct.
regards,
Siddharth.

Assigning an identifier

I have the following table TEST3 with data as shown below.
I need to identify the records that have the same XLS and LORENTION values, but under one condition.
The condition is that if you look at the data ordered by seq asc, the records where seq in
(148206, 148207) should have a different identifier than the record where seq = 148215, although they all
have the same XLS and LORENTION values. The reason is because they are separated by a different XLS and LORENTION
set of records (seq in (148211, 148212, 148213, 1482114)).
In other words, I need a way to read record by record in ascending order of SEQ, assign an identifier for the same XLS and LORENTION values until it hits a different set of XLS and LORENTION values.
Any help will be much appreciated.
CREATE TABLE TEST3
SEQ NUMBER(28,7),

version: Oracle Database 10g Enterprise Edition Release 10.2.0.3.0 - 64bi
This is the source:
select seq, xls, lorention, cans, color from test3 order by seq;
I need something like:
select seq, xls, lorention, cans, color, max(seq) over (partition by xls, lorention) id from test3 order by seq;
The first 5 records should have one id because the xls and lorention are the same, then the next record, since lorention value changes, it should have a different id for rows 6 - 9. row 10 should have a different id because lorention value changes. Row 11 should have a different id because xls value changes. row 12 should have a different ID because xls changes. If you look at it, row 10 and row 12 have the same xls and lorention values as rows 1-5, but they need a different id because there are other xls and lorention values in between. In the example above, I used max(seq) as the identifier, but this won't work because rows 10 -12 should have different id but have the same seq values.

Identifier based credentials- linking multi identifiers to one course?

We have instructors teaching serveral sections of the same course and each course has an unique identifier linked to that course.In our itunes U we have multi classes named the same (taught by the same instructor)and use unique identifiers. How can I use multi identifiers for a course so those instructors who are teaching multi sections will only need to post their podcasts under one class and all sections of students can access?
Windows XP Pro Iowa Valley Community College

Unless I am mistaken, identifier-based credentials are only designed to work with one identifier per course. However, you can manually create multiple credentials instead of using the identifier.
For example: let's say an instructor teaches 3 sections of Intro to Psychology and wants students in all 3 sections to have access to one course on iTunes U. The sections have IDs that are sent from your authentication system as PSY-100-01, PSY-100-02, and PSY-100-03.
You would create the course and leave the Identifier field blank, since you cannot use identifier-based credentials for this course. Then click on the course and click Edit Access, and click the little + button to the left of the word Credentials and create a new credential like this:
Download - Learner@urn:mace:iavalley.edu:PSY-100-01
That will allow students in the first section to access this iTunes U course. Now repeat the process for the other two sections:
Download - Learner@urn:mace:iavalley.edu:PSY-100-02
Download - Learner@urn:mace:iavalley.edu:PSY-100-03
Now students in all 3 sections will have access to this one course in iTunes U. This requires a little more than just using the identifier to automatically provide access to students and instructors in the course, but I think it's the only way to set it up for multiple sections linked to a single iTunes U course.
