BCS different consolidation method in a hierarchie

Hello,
      We have the following hierarchy of consolidation units:
      Company 1 (purchase method) -> Company 2 (equity method) -> Company 4
      (equity method)
      When we execute consolidation of investments BCS ignores the investment
      of company 2 in company 4.
      How can we solve this scenario?
      Thank you in advance.

Hello,
Your question sounds like:
I want to load data for the company. But, data is not loaded. What would be the reason?
The reason might be hidden in thousands of settings. Whould you want us to guess?
Or you'd describe your situation as detailed as possible?
The more meaning detailes you provide the faster you may get the answer.
Otherwise such requests, most likely, will be just ignored.

Different consolidation methods for one entity on one scenario

Dear experts,
How can I have different consolidation methods for one entity on one scenario?
One entity is going from proportionate to equity method. We would like to check variations due to this change.
Best regards,
Benoit

Hi Benoit,
How's things?
Managing the consolidation methods is based on the setup of your consolidation rules.
However, the first place that you should look is the Ownership Management. Select the parent of the entity that you work to process. In the screen, you will be able to see the available methods and the ownership. All these settings are related with the consolidation rules available in your application.

Container Managed Security on Tomcat - configuring different auth-methods

I am trying to configure the container managed security on tomcat4. Or rather I am trying to add a further dimension to the configuration that already exists.
At the moment the entire application uses LDAP authentication and I would like to separate an area that requires further authentication. That is to say I would like everyone using the web application to authenticate using the existing Form-Based LDAP authentication but I would like only certain users to be able to use the data upload facility (whose code is stored in it's own directory).
This is the authentication bit of my web.xml:
<security-constraint>
    <web-resource-collection>
      <web-resource-name>qmrae</web-resource-name>
      <url-pattern>*.do</url-pattern>
      <url-pattern>*.jsp</url-pattern>
    </web-resource-collection>
    <auth-constraint>
      <role-name>*</role-name>
    </auth-constraint>
</security-constraint>
<login-config>
    <auth-method>FORM</auth-method>
    <realm-name>Form-Based Authentication Area</realm-name>
    <form-login-config>
      <form-login-page>/login.jsp</form-login-page>
      <form-error-page>/loginError.jsp</form-error-page>
    </form-login-config>
</login-config>My first hurdle is in understanding exactly how the application knows where to go for its authentication.
I had guessed that the realm-name would map "areas" of my application to realm configuration defined in my application's context area in Tomcat's web.xml but this doesnt seem to be the case. In fact I have read conflicting explanations as to what the realm-name is for. One source has said that this is only used for BASIC authentication as a way of naming the resulting pop up window - many others say it maps the login-config to the web-resource-name. However the latter doesnt make sense because the authentication works in my application at the moment even though those values are completely different (and indeed are different in most of the examples i've read on the web). Furthermore I can find any other mention of the defined realm-name in any other file (which of course be because i'm looking in the wrong place).
I was prepared to accept that the realm-name might not actually do anything and so I've been looking for examples of defining a different auth-method for different url-patterns but i've had no luck.
I know a user can have one or more roles but I dont have access to the LDAP server to set these up and haven't found anything about defining different auth-methods other than one thread in this forum suggesting that is wasnt possible on AIS.
This thread suggests that you can have more than one security-constraint but again i'm not sure about the auth methods and how you map an auth method to a security-constraint
http://forum.java.sun.com/thread.jspa?forumID=33&threadID=320918
To summarise my questions:
1) What are the functions of the realm-name and web-resource-name? Are they related?
2) Is it possible to configure different areas of an application to use different authentication methods? and if so, could you point me in the direction of relevant documentation
3) If (2) is not possible and I have to assign a new role to the privileged LDAP users, is it enough to define a new security-constraint? Could you describe the behaviour I could expect for users that have authenticated once and try to access this super-security area, will they be shown another login form or will it just let them in because the container is already aware of their permissions.
Many thanks for your attention,
Rachel

If you create your own Realm classes - look at JAAS - you can sort out your last login time, just wrap them around the DataSourceRealm.
As far as 'remind' him is concerned - I'm guessing you mean provider a reminder for the password based on the user name. If you use form based authentication you can put what ever you like on the page.

Payment proposal picking up... different payment methods...

Hi Experts
we are testing in development phase, Payment proposal is picking up different payment methods even we entered only one payment method in the parameters.
This should not be selected like this as per the business... process.
Please let me know how to avoid this.
Thanks
Meenakshi

Even though it will pick up the items from other payment methods. It will not pay, those items will be in the exception list. You can exclude these items though by going to 'Free Selection' tab during Parameters creation, and select the field name 'Payment method' , check box 'exclude value' and in the 'values' field enter the payment methods you want to exclude (One payment method in one row). You can exclude 6 payment methods this way.
Thanks

Generating same SApScript output to different output methods

Hi All,
Can someone tell me whether it's possible to generate different out methods using the same SAPScript output. if so how to do it ??
i.e : e-mail & printer or fax & printer.
thanks in advance
Dhanushka.

Hi,
Is there a BAPI to send the spool request as an e-mail or fax.
About the sequence of events:
Generating of the spool request is done using the open_form right. Once the form is closed get the spool id and send it by e-mail or fax ???.
is this correct
thanks & regards

Consolidation Method

Are there default consolidation methods in HFM? or do we have to write consolidation methods for every type of ownership?

thanks kelly.
where can i see the default consolidation methods? In the Ownership management screen the methods drop down appears blank in our installation. When the metadata was loaded ( Classic application) the consolidation method checkbox was not checked.
Does these consolidation method also handle equity/investment elimination automatically? I was given to understand that the equity pickup feature has been added by oracle only in their latest fusion release ( 11). we are using 9.3.1.

Different auth methods for Clientless & AnyConnect?

The goal: To allow Clientless(portal) connections with only username/password authentication (LDAP in this case) while requiring two-factor (LDAP & Certificate) authentication for AnyConnect connections.
The config: Since the auth methods are configured within connection profiles/tunnel groups, I am using two different profiles, one requiring only LDAP auth for use with clientless and one requiring both LDAP and client certificate authentication for AnyConnect. I have not enabled the option to allow users to choose their connection profile.
The only way I have been able to get the AnyConnect client to use anything other than the "DefaultWEBVPNGroup" profile was to use a URL mapping for the AnyConnect tunnel group, a custom AnyConnect client profile (to specify the custom URL), and a DAP policy to deny AnyConnect connections on the "DefaultWEBVPNGroup" tunnel group.
Resulting behavior: Web portal requires only username and password. Stand-alone AnyConnect connections require username/password & client certificate.
The problem: Weblaunch (launching AnyConnect from the portal) installs the client, but throws an error and disconnects (see attached). Subsequent stand-alone AnyConnect connection attempts work fine.
I assume this issue is related to the different tunnel groups using different authentication methods. If I disable the DAP policy, weblaunch works without erros, but it connects without requiring two-factor authentication.
Does anyone know if what I am trying to do is possible and/or supported? I am open to alternative suggestions as well.
Thanks,
Aaron

Sounds like you are 95% of the way there. You can definitely get this to work. Based on your description of the problem when trying to web launch AnyConnect, it sounds like you are not matching the correct tunnel group. As you stated, when using more specific connection profiles, you need to give users a means to identify which TG they want to connect to. This is typically achieved via a drop down selection box, group URL, or certificate attribute map. In your case, it sounds like you are using group URLs. With this approach, you will have two more specific URLs for your users to access. For web launch and standalone AnyConnect clients, they may access https://vpn.vpn.com/anyconnect while your clientless users may access https:/vpn.vpn.com/webvpn. The catch as you found is what happens when a user tries to go to the root https://vpn.vpn.com? In this case, the user will hit the default WebVPN TG. I would have to see your DAP policy to understand what policies you have implemented. If you take DAP out of the picture for a moment, a few quick workarounds to preventing AnyConnect users from being able to log into the default WebVPN group is to remove the corresponding tunneling protocol from the default group policy. Alternatively, you could set the simultaneous logins to 0 in the default group policy. You may also want to look into configuring group locking to prevent users from logging into a TG that they don't belong to. With respect to your certificate requirement, ASA 8.2.1 code allows you to configure client certificate authentication on a TG by TG basis. This is more flexible than 8.0 where this is enabled globally.

Consolidation methods

Dear HFM professionals,
Can somebody please kindly clarify a few questions regarding the automatic attribution of consolidation methods to nodes:
1) Is there any strict desription of the property "Control" in consolidation methods' properties? I failed to find one in admin or user guide. How exactly does this setting affect the attribution of consolidation methods to nodes? I do understand that when this property is set to "Full" then one of the condition of automatic attribution is that the control percent for the company through voting shares have to be 100%. However, all other options seem vague.
2) What is the purpose of Consol1, Consol2 and Consol3 accounts? It is stated in documentation that these are for consolidation methods applied. I can't figure out how it works.
3) Is it possible to write a rule for method attribution? If so, which subroutine shall contain it?
...or maybe you could just provide me with the solution on the specific task. What I'm trying to accomplish is the following: I have 2 types of nodes, where those with effective ownership percent (POWN) more than 50 have to be fully consolidated, whereas those with less ownership are considered associated companies and have to be consolidated through equity method. I would like to not use voting shares at all since this parameter is somehow redundant in my case. I just want the method to be attributed automatically to node on basis of the rule described.

Hi Benoit,

Managing the consolidation methods is based on the setup of your consolidation rules.

Defining consolidation method

Hi,
I would like to ask about consolidation method. I have hierarchy as follow:
1. Company A owned Company B for 70%
2. Company A owned Company C for 45%
3. Company D owned B for 0.2%
In hierarchy above, B will be using Full Consol, C will be using Equity Method (only absorb Net Income) and D will be using Cost Method (only calculate investment). When do this setting in HFM, where should i put % for PCON, POWN and PCTRL ? does HFM will read Method that i setup regardless how many % i setup in those 3 % ?
Appreciate your reply.
Thanks,
-Anna

Hi Anna,
Sample books, use specific methods, which means that the author has to define what is input to the method (is it POWN, or is it SharesOwned/SharesOutstanding?) and what kind of processing does. Methods like those you describe "FullMethod", "EquiMethod", "CostMethod" are just names. Without having documentation on how they work, or the corresponding part of the code in the rules file, its hard to tell what they do and what they require of you to input.
The specific methods I use, are quite simple, they need to specify only the Method, PCON and POWN. So the input for the consolidation in my case would look like:
Company B -> [Method] = FullMethod -> PCON 100% -> POWN 100%
Company C -> [Method] = EquiMethod -> PCON 100% -> POWN 45%
Company D -> [Method] = CostMethod -> PCON 0% -> POWN 0.2%
and the PCON in EquiMethod would be ignored for all accounts but capital and reserves, and the PCON/POWN for the CostMethod would not be handled at all, it would be just information.
However, the above is just a description of my rules. I could have written a set of rules that use the SharesOwned and SharesOutstanding as an input to calculate POWN and then depending on the POWN value the rules would decide if Full, Equity or Cost calculations would be performed.
As per the consolidation calculations, only the POWN is needed for calculating the goodwill, non-controlling interests and the group share of profits/reserves. The figure in POWN also depends on the entity structure, the simplest case being to input it ready to HFM into the POWN account.
So, the correct answer to your questions can be given only by the party that has implemented the rules, or if you can read and understand the rules code.

Kostas

Need a Effective Design Pattern for Different Validation methods ???

Hi All,
I am having different validation methods with separate functions. I like to know the Best and Effective Design Pattern to do this.
for example
validateUserId()
validatePassword()
validateAuthentication()
validateSession()
validateConnection()
.... etc......
Can anybody help me to solve this?
Thanks,
J.Kathir

Hi there - is this the kind of thing you wanted?.
This structure has served me well. There is quite a lot to it and lots you need to infer but you should be able to work it out!
It works for EJB & swing etc (I believe)..
It doesn't use exceptions to return validation messages.
It doesn't use lots of little objects. The code is very explicit & pretty simple.
public class PersonValidator
Person myData;
public PersonValidator() {
//personId will be 0 and we are in nsert mode
myData = new Person();
public PersonValidator(long personId) {
//personId will have a value and we are in update mode
myData = PersonDb.getPerson(personId);
// =================================Single field validation
// =================================For swing apps to call - not over network.
// =================================Use validateData method
public String validateDateOfBirth(String dataOfBirthStr) {
String msg = "";
msg = validateDateStr(dataOfBirthStr);
if (!msg.equals("")) return msg;
public String validateSurname(String surname) {
String msg = "";
if (surname.equals("")) return "surname must be entered";
//=============================================Cross Validation
public List crossValidateAndSave(boolean saveData) {
String msg = "";
List valerrs = new ArrayList();
if (surname.equals("Collins") && dateOfBirth.compareTo("???")) {
List.add("Candidate is lying about their age. Please enter a realistic Date of birth");
if (valerrs.size() == 0) {
if (saveData()) {
personDb.saveData(myData);
// =========================To validate across the netwrok this lets you
// pass all the data in 1 go & receive multiple messages in reply.
// AN EJB can delegate to this code or this code could be in the EJB.
// @param stopAtFirstMessage flag allow efficiency if app ccan't handle multiple validation
// erros at a time.
// @param saveData flag allows validation without saving - allows for confirm message.
// @param EditPersonGuiData - What the user types in. Numeric data & dates can be
// in Strings. Using struts this could be the formBean.
public List validateData(EditPersonGuiData inputData, boolean stopAtFirstMessage, boolean saveData) {
String msg = "";
List valerrs = new ArrayList();
msg = validateDateOfBirth(inputData.dateOfBirth);
if (!msg.equals("")) valerrs.add(msg);
if (stopAtFirstMessage) return valerrs;
valerrs = crossValidateAndSave()
return valerrs;
}

SEM BCS - Partnership Consolidation

Hi friends:
Please let me know the following:
a) What is a Partnership consolidation and which version covers it?
b) What are new features in SEM 6.0 and where do I get documentation?
I thank you in advance for the above information.
Sincerely,
Virgo

Virgo,
IMHO, it should mean the multilevel ownership between the companies involved.
In this context I treat the partnership as a different share belonged to this or that party.
Like: Company A has 80% of Company B which in turn has 90% of Company D etc.
There is no special functionality needed. SEM-BCS covers purchase and equity methods.
That is all is needed here, I guess.
Hope this helps.
