Change attribute in BPS

Hi Guys,
there is a function "reporst" which can allow be used to change the charateristics in the BPS layout, anybody know is there a way to change the attribute of charactersitics in BPS layout?

Hello JW,
this is certainly not a good solution. Master data changes are not supported in BPS directly and workarounds using exit functions are not recommended (there is no guarantee that it would work in future releases).
Create a BSP application for maintaining the master data. Search the BI forums. It has been discussed several times. You can even integrate the BSP application into the BPS web interface.

Manager is not able to change attribute

Hello SRM Guru,
As per my knowledge Managers can change the attributes defined for their organizational unit(s) or for users in their organizational unit(s) using the Web application Changing Attributes BBPATTRMAINT. In my case manager is only able to only change attributes defined for their organizational unit(s) not for the users in the organizational unit(s).
Could you please suggest what could be the setting I am missing? I have also tried with standrad manager and administrator role.
Thanks,
Jack

It seems that you are trying to change the attribute value which is inherited.
If the user attributes are inherited from the parent org unit level, then you cannot change them at user level. You need to go to the parent level where attributes are set and change there. This will affect to all levels down the line wherever inherited. Be careful while doing this.
If you do not want those attributes to get inherited down the line then remove the value at parent level. Then you can add new value to that attribute at the user level.

Operation ' Change Attribute TSTATE ' could not be carried out

Hi All,
When I attempt to compress an infocube I get the following error messages:
@5C\QError@ Operation ' Change Attribute TSTATE ' could not be carried out for Request 1114486
@5C\QError@ Termination in problem report 'RSS2_DTP_RNR_SUBSEQ_PROC_SET' in row '255'
I checked the request 1114486 in infocube and saw that its status is green however the overall status in the load monitor was "deleted".
How can I fix the problem with this request ?
It is a very old request and it was already uploaded to several other targets.
Thanks in advance..
Berna

hi,
It can be due to large data volume which might require more system resources then usual, see if there is any dump related to this in ST22, Also check whether any request is currently running on cubefor data loaded to cubeor getting load to further targets
try compression for less requests say 3 or 4, see if it works or not
hope it helps

Authorization to change attribute co.code

Hi,
We have tested and see that authorization to change attributes is coming from role /SAPSRM/MANAGER. Our goal in here is to make the attribute company code to be changeable for purchaser, but the purchaser cannot change other attribute. Can someone enlight me of how to do this?
Best regards,
John

Hi Saravanan,
Thanks for the reply, but I think you mis-understand my question. The note you're giving me is for allowing some field in the document to be edited during approval process. While what I asked is to know about authorization object that allowing a person to edit his/her own attributes. It seems that this object is linked to role MANAGER. We would like to know the spesific auhtorization object for maintaining attributes BUK (co.code).
Best regards,

User change attribute workflow with approval problem

Hello,
I have a requirement to add account numbers to user entry through workflow with approval process. and also same user can have multiple account numbers. when approver approves the User request then it's account number will be added into the user entity in ldap.
So, i have created a Change Attribute workflow for that account number with these steps as : initiate, Approval, Commit, Error_report
this workflow i am able to invoke through IdentityXML call and from OIM interfaces approvers able to approve and that account number is persisting under the User entity.
Problem is: Actually above request is staging system. when user requests, it is in initiate step, when approver approves the request then only commits the info. so, there are 2 stages here.
When i am requesting two consecutive account number requests then both requests are in initial stage. Then approver approves the 1st request then it is persisting into User entity. after that approver approves the 2nd request then this account number is overwriting the previous one. so, here is the problem i am finding. worflow is not adding the new account number.. instead its replacing the last value in the list of account numbers for an User entity.
I hope the above problem make understandable..
Really its a very much helpful to find the solution on this.
Thanks in advance,
Srini.

Thanks for the help. Having reinstalled OID/OAM a bunch of times to properly add our custom user object, nothing seems absurd. I tried running through your steps, but I'm still not getting the workflow button. I've customized create and delete workflows properly, but the change attribute is a mystery.
I did the following:
1) Selected a custom attribute in Attribute Access Control
2) Changed its read access to Anyone
3) Saved
4) Changed its modify access to Anyone
5) Saved
6) Added a new Change Attribute workflow for the custom attribute
7) Action #1: Request, added Anyone as participant and saved
8) Action #2: External Action, selected attribute is the custom one
9) Action #3: Commit
10) Saved and enabled the workflow
11) Restarted the Identity server
12) Picked a user
13) Opened his user profile
14) Clicked Modify
The custom attribute is still editable and has no Request a Change button.

There is a field by the name USR_JOB_CODE in the database. When I poked around I found that there is no Job Code field in the User Form. Any ideas?

[Workflow]Change Attribute - Request to Modify

Hi,
Im working with Oracle Identity Administration.
I create a workflow type Change Attribute with Approval. As I expected, a button will appear next to the attribute on profile panel but I could not see that button.
So all the changes was commit without any approval.
Please help to configure the workflow so the manager could receive an email with ticket to approve change request.
Thanks.

Hi,
You need to set the access to this attribute. You need to give 'modify' permission to the 'manager', and 'read' as well, the user MUST ONLY have 'read' permission this attribute.

ABAP - Case Management - Change Attribute on unsaved case

Hi - how can I populate/change attributes of a case befre it is saved - I have the GUID and can get attributes by calling BAPI_CASE_GETATTRIBUTES, however if I try to set them using BAPI_CASE_CHANGE or BAPI_CASE_CHANGEATTRIBUTES it falls over when the bapi trys to open the case - any ideas anyone?

Updating Master data attributes through BPS

Hi All,
Can we modify master data attributes via BPS? Like we have some Attribute characteristics for 'vendor' say 'class(good/bad/ok)' and we want that to be updated via BPS (not from R/3) then how it can be achived?
Please help by explaining this.

Hi,
Create two variables one for vendor and other for status (variable of type attribute), give both the variables in the folder. User will select the vendor and the attribute status value in selections. Create an exit planning function to update the attribute.
Import parameters
i_area type upc_y_area
i_variable type upc_y_variable
i_chanm type upc_y_chanm
Export parameters
eto_charsel type upc_yto_charsel
tables
i_t_attributes structure rsd_s_iobjnm optional
i_t_data structure rsndi_s_chavl optional
In the code, Read the above two variable values selected by user. Then delete the existing entry of MD by calling the function RSNDI_MD_DELETE.
Now update the master data with the new attribute value selected by the user in the variable by calling the function
RSNDI_MD_ATTRIBUTES_UPDATE. After this activate the master data by calling RSDMD_MD_ACTIVATE.
Hope this solves the issue.

Hi,
Based on my understanding, something was changed to the user, but not logged in the event. To check whethe this is true, we can reset some attributes listed in the event, and then check the event logs. In addition, we reset an attribute not listed in the
event log and then check event logs again.
The standard event 4738: A user account was changed like below:
