Automatic Group Assignment

Hello,
We are on NWDS 2004S(EP 7.0).
Our Portal users from both LDAP and UME Database.
Now, we have a requirement like... based on certain selection criteria, we need to assign a particular GROUP selected automatically.
Is this requirement feasible ?
Regards
Raja Sekhar

Hi Dareen and Marcos,
Thanks a lot for the pointers.
Well, I got few more doubts before closing this thread.
1) Can I call an Adaptive RFC and access some employee information so that based on that ? Like see my requirement is, based on the Employee Sub Group of the employee attached I should assign the respective Portal groups. So my idea is, to create an JAAS Login Module which get the user attached using UME API and then call the needed BAPI that will get me the ESG of the employee attached to this person in ECC ? And then based on the ESG, I want to assign the respective group to the user?
2) Will this JAAS Login module gets accessed for every login ?
3) This is quiet different from JAAS login modules. Can we develop a custom Java WD which has some selection screen(with USER ID and GROUP name). On executing the application based on the selection criteria, it should list all the employees in that criteria and on click of BATCH ASSIGN button, I need to assign the selected group to these people. And I should deploy this application in PORTAL. Is this requirement really feasible? Am aboslutely new to these UME API's.

Group Assignment

Good morning.
Just a quick question....
In MDM, can we group assignments and run multiple of them together, similar as we do with group validations.
Thanks

Hi Anuj,
As per my understanding, I think Group Assignment is not possible unlike Validation Group.
You can try with below MDM workflow:
Start Step>Assign(assignment1)>Assign2(assignment2)>and so-0nStop step. I think If in MDM workflow it allows Assign step one after other then you can execute all assignments in one go. Set this workflow trigger action on Record Add, Record Import and Record Update which automatically execute this workflow and thus Populate your all assignments automatically..

About automatic account assignment

hi,
in one interview i faced a question ie: what are the sequencial steps involved in configur automatic account assignment?
can i get a answer from seniors

Configure automatic postings
In this step, you enter the system settings for Inventory Management and
    Invoice Verification transactions for automatic postings to G/L accounts.
You can then check your settings using a simulation function.
Under Further information there is a list of transactions in Materials
    Management and their definitions.
What are automatic postings?
Postings are made to G/L accounts automatically in the case of Invoice
    Verification and Inventory Management transactions relevant to Financial
    and Cost Accounting.
Example:
Posting lines are created in the following accounts in the case of a
    goods issue for a cost center:
    o Stock account
    o Consumption account
How does the system find the relevant accounts?
When entering the goods movement, the user does not have to enter a G/L
    account, since the R/3 System automatically finds the accounts to which
    postings are to be made using the following data:
    o Chart of accounts of the company code
       If the user enters a company code or a plant when entering a
       transaction, the R/3 System determines the chart of accounts which is
       valid for the company code.
       You must define the automatic account determination individually for
       each chart of accounts.
    o Valuation grouping code of the valuation area
       If the automatic account determination within a chart of accounts is
       to run differently for certain company codes or plants (valuation
       areas), assign different valuation grouping codes to these valuation
       areas.
You must define the automatic account determination individually for
       every valuation grouping code within a chart of accounts. It applies
       to all valuation areas which are assigned to this valuation grouping
       code.
If the user enters a company code or a plant when entering a
       transaction, the system determines the valuation area and the
       valuation grouping code.
    o Transaction/event key (internal processing key)
       Posting transactions are predefined for those inventory management and
       invoice verification transactions relevant to accounting. Posting
       records, which are generalized in the value string, are assigned to
       each relevant movement type in inventory management and each
       transaction in invoice verification. These contain keys for the
       relevant posting transaction (for example, inventory posting and
Transaction/event key (internal processing key)
Posting transactions are predefined for those inventory management and
invoice verification transactions relevant to accounting. Posting
records, which are generalized in the value string, are assigned to
each relevant movement type in inventory management and each
transaction in invoice verification. These contain keys for the
relevant posting transaction (for example, inventory posting and
consumption posting) instead of actual G/L account numbers.
You do not have to define these transaction keys, they are determined
automatically from the transaction (invoice verification) or the
movement type (inventory management). All you have to do is assign the
relevant G/L account to each posting transaction.
Account grouping (only for offsetting entries, consignment
liabilities, and price differences)
Since the posting transaction "Offsetting entry for inventory posting"
is used for different transactions (for example, goods issue,
scrapping, physical inventory), which are assigned to different
accounts (for example, consumption account, scrapping, expense/income
from inventory differences), it is necessary to divide the posting
transaction according to a further key: account grouping code.
An account grouping is assigned to each movement type in inventory
management which uses the posting transaction "Offsetting entry for
inventory posting".
Under the posting transaction "Offsetting entry for inventory
posting", you must assign G/L accounts for every account grouping,
that is, assign G/L accounts.
If you wish to post price differences to different price difference
accounts in the case of goods receipts for purchase orders, goods
receipts for orders, or other movements, you can define different
account grouping codes for the transaction key.
Using the account grouping, you can also have different accounts for
consignment liabilities and pipeline liabilities.
Valuation class of material or (in case of split valuation) the
valuation type
The valuation class allows you to define automatic account
determination that is dependent on the material. for example: you post
a goods receipt of a raw material to a different stock account than if
the goods receipt were for trading goods, even though the user enters
the same transaction for both materials.
You can achieve this by assigning different valuation classes to the
materials and by assigning different G/L accounts to the posting
transaction for every valuation class.
If you do not want to differentiate according to valuation classes you
do not have to maintain a valuation class for a transaction.
   Before you maintain automatic postings, you must obtain the following
   information:
1. Valuation level (plant or company code)
      Establish whether the materials are valuated at plant or at company
      code level
When valuation is at plant level, the valuation area corresponds to a
      plant.
When valuation is at company code level, the valuation area
      corresponds to a company code.
      Define valuation level
2. Chart of accounts and valuation grouping code per valuation area
      Find out whether the valuation grouping code is active.
      Activate split valuation
      If it is not active, determine the chart of accounts assigned to each
      valuation area (via the company code).
      If it is active, determine the chart of accounts and the valuation
      grouping code assigned to each valuation area.
      Group valuation areas
You must define a separate account determination process for chart of
      accounts and each valuation grouping code.
3. Valuation class per material type
      If you wish to differentiate the account determination process for
      specific transactions according to valuation classes, find out which
      valuation classes are possible for each material type.
      Define valuation classes
4. Account grouping for offsetting entries to stock accounts
      Under Define account grouping for movement types, determine for which
      movement types an account grouping is defined for the
      transaction/event keys GGB (offsetting entry to stock posting), KON
      (consignment liabilities) and PRD (price differences).
Default settings
G/L account assignments for the charts of accounts INT and the valuation
   grouping code 0001 are SAP standard.

Configuring automatic account assignment

Hi All,
Can anyone give me the step by step configuration procedure
automatic account assignment.
Regards,
Nisha

hi,
spro --> Materials management --> valuation and account assignment --> account determination --> account determination without wizard.
under this we have:
define valuation control, group together valuation areas, define account grouping for movement types.
in transaction OMWN, you will find account grouping.
1.     Valuation area: plant or company code ( SAP recommends Plant)
2.     Valuation class ( 4 Character ID )
3.     Account Category Reference  Grouping of valuation class for the purpose of Automatic Account Determination.
4.     Valuation Grouping Code/ Valuation Modifier
     4 Character ID, used to group valuation areas for the purpose of automatic account determination
        88p1      8888   CAUS   0001
         88p2      8888   CAUS   0001
     The plants belongs to same company code can have same grouping code.
     The plants belongs to same company code can have different grouping code
     The plant belongs to different company codes can have same grouping code.
EX: valuation grouping code     valuation class      G/L
     0001                    3000          300000
     0002                    3000          690000
5.     Transaction / Event key
     It is an internal processing key which facilitates in automatic determination of accounts. The system uses internally, what accounts have to be picked up.
     3 Character ID
     Some of the Standard Transaction/Event keys are
1. BSX   -- Inventory postings ( Stock postings )
2. BSP   -- Stock Change account
3. WRX -- GR/IR Clearing account
4. UPF -- Unplanned delivery costs
5. GBB -- Offset entry for Inventory posting
6. PRD -- Price difference accounts
7. KON Consignment liabilities
Goods receipt for PO :: BSX and WRX will trigger.
Goods issue:: BSX and GBB ;will trigger.
6.     Account Modifier:
 Account modifier are used to determine Finer accounts for a transaction or a event.
 Goods issue to the cost center:
     Stock account BSX Credit.
     GBB                          Debit. (

The business system HRK_005 is not a business system in the group assigned

Hi there,
i have a Problem. I want to transport a Scenario from our Consolidation to our Prod System.
In this Szenario, there are XI and HR Systems included.
On Consolidation Side:
XIK_001
HRK_005
in Prod
XIP_001
HRP_001
When i now export the whole Scenario from our K System and want to import it to our P Systems the following error occurs:
The business system HRK_005 is not a business system in the group assigned to production.
I have no System HRK_005 in production. HRK_005 is in Group Consolidation?!?
Can someone help here?
Thanks
Bjoern

Oops i spoke with u r key code it bounced back .
Well i explained standard way to export and import Intergration Directory objects.
K - Development System ( SLD_Dev)
P - Production System (SLD _Prod)
In K - SLD_Dev needs Group -- This is based on the Integration Server (IS) of the K / P XI server.
IS (K) -- Group1 / IS (P) -- Group2 (All this in the SLD_Dev)
Assign all BS of K to Group1
Assign all BS of P tp Group2
For BS of K specify the target transport as Production BS (P).
Now goto P (SLD_Prod) create the BS as same in K what you have created in Group2
Now export from K (Dev) to P(prod)
am not able to view the link provided.
Any ways i have listed standard way for transport, hope this helps

OBYC changes in automatic account assignment

Hi
I've a question.
We have configured automatic account assignment under BSX in OBYC with say, GL1.
Now we observed that, it has changed to GL2 by mistake. Now we need to set it back to GL1.
Will system automatically assign all the transactions to the changed GL (i.e from GL2 to GL1), meaning the old transactions as well, or we need to pass a JV for the rectification of the balances to the correct GL.
Please advise.

What must be the rectifying action for this?? Since this is a huge balance and Finance dept is not allowing to pass a JV with such a huge balance for audit reasons.
Plz suggest from MM side what can be done coz reversing and re-posting the whole thing is not possible since its time consuming activity.

Static Identity Group Assignment

                   Does anyone know a way to bring in an endpoint with the following attributes?
Endpoint Policy Name       Static = True
Static Group Assignment   Static = True
The 1.2 manual says;
If the file used for import contains endpoints that have their MAC addresses, and their assigned endpoint profiling policy is the static assignment, then they are not re-profiled during import.
To change a dynamic assignment of an endpoint identity group to static, check the Static Group Assignment check box. If the check box is not checked, then the endpoint identity group is dynamic as assigned by the profiler based on policy configuration.
Statically Profiled Endpoints
An endpoint can be profiled statically when you create an endpoint with its MAC address and associate a profile to it along with an endpoint identity group in Cisco ISE. Cisco ISE does not reassign the profiling policy and the identity group for statically assigned endpoints.
A) Does anyone know a way to import from an LDAP database and maintain the Static Group Assignment = True.
I successfully do an LDAP import of the MAC and Endpoint Group (which comes in as True) but the Static Group Assignment has the Endpoint Group Assignment correct but static is false unchecked. I don't want these profiling any more. These are thousands of endpoints and I do not see any way to do a bulk change. I have tried exporting and re-importing but that doesn't really scale.
B) Would creation of an endpoint group that is not part of the Profiled endpoint group change the behavior I see above when I do my LDAP import?
If there were a way to do the bulk selection and change the static property or the Static Group Assignment that would be of huge benefits. The changes apply to the fields selected within the endpoints while maintaining the MAC property of the endpoint.
Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

James,
That is possible but do you have the dhcp probe enabled and have you thought about setting up an ip helper statement or assigning the ISE node as one of the dhcp servers on the WLC?
There is a built in check such that if the dhcp class identifier contains MSFT will profile the endpoint as a windows workstation.
However if this is not the case then you can create the following condition under the Policy Elements > Conditions > Profiling > New Profiler Condition, you will use the create (advanced...) then select NMAP > 135-tcp > then set the operator EQUAL to msrpc.
Then go under the Microsoft-Workstation and select the option to create a matching identity group (its much easier rather than using the heirarchy option) and set the certainity factor 30. Then add this new condition and set the certainity to 30 also.
Hope that helps,
Thanks,

Catalog Problem - Automatic vendor assignment problem...

Hello All
One of the procurement catalog (Green flow Items) was corrupted by uploading a supplier catalog Schema. We got this corrected by once again uploading the correct schema to this catalog and mapping it to the master catalog. There after the corrupted schema is published.
After this when the users are creating the shopping carts with the items in this recovered catalog, 'Automatic Vendor Assignment' facility is not working . All these shopping carts are being directed to the Professional Purchaser, even though they are Green route shopping cart
Due to the 'Automatic Vendor Assignment' failure; if the requisitioner manual enters then Vendors details when creating the Cart then the Vendor Details will appear in the Professional Purchasers In-Box.
Alternatively; the Vendor Details will not appear.
Did I miss any thing while correcting the the Procurement cataloge.
Any help or guidance on this is very much appreciated.
Thank you in advance.

Group Assignment and Analytics Visibility

Hello,
We are thinking of using the Group Assignment feature in On Demand. However, I have not found documentation on how this affects Analytics reporting visibility. I see the options for Manager, Team, and Full Visibility for Analytics. However, I would like to find out if users belong to a particular Group, would they also have visibility to those associated Accounts, Opptys, etc associated with that group in Analytics by using Team Visibility?
Thanks!

Imagine if we two are sales rep belonging to the same team then I would see records for which i am owner and also records for which my team members are owner.So we can see each others data provided we are on the same team and team visibility is applied under our user profile.

Automate the assignment of iviews, pages, workset to role....

Hello Gurus,
We are using EP 7.0. Is there any tool available in EP 7.0 that will automate the assignment of different content objects, like assignments of iviews, pages and workset to role.
We want to assign large no. of iviews, pages,worksets etc. to diffrenent roles. Is there anything available that will help us to automate the assignment, rather than manually assign the objects to the role as it will be a huge task and time consuming.
Any help will be highly appreciated.

Hi Deb,
as far as I know there is no standard tool for mass assignment of content objects to portal roles. But you can easily develop your own solution. The folloowing sections of the SAP Library should be helpful:

Effective start and end dates for roles/group assignment

Hi,
Does Access Manager (in legacy or realm) mode support effective start date/end date on a role/group assignment on a user?
Thanks,
Srinivas

Hi Ankush,
I am also of the same opinion. Start and end dates can probably be enforced by a policy condition in AM but would lead to proliferation of policies as we would end up creating policies per role entitlement duration for a user.
Any thoughts on whether the sunrise/sunset concept of Identity Manager can be used for this requirement.
Thanks,
