Changing DN for GROUPS using API

I have such code that I change GROUP attributes in OID with:
ModPropertySet m=new ModPropertySet();
Group mygroup;
mygroup=new Group ( Util.IDTYPE_DN,groupName );
m.addProperty(LDIF.RECORDCHANGE_TYPE_MODDN,"distinguishedname",newDN);_
m.addProperty(LDIF.ATTRIBUTE_CHANGE_TYPE_REPLACE,"displayname",newDisplayName);
m.addProperty(LDIF.ATTRIBUTE_CHANGE_TYPE_REPLACE,"description",newDescription);
mygroup.setProperties(dirctx,m);
The above piece of code works well if I exclude the line with distinguishedname or DN.
otherwise it returns this exception:
NamingException encountered in ldapModify [LDAP: error code 65 Failed to find distinguishedname in mandatory or optional attribute list]
Interestingly, if I put a bad newDN there, such as "hello", (not in the form of cn= .. , ...) it says:
NamingException encountered in ldapModify cn=tester,cn=groups,dc=pooyaco,dc=com: [LDAP: error code 34 - Invalid DN Syntax]
My question is that whether I can change DN using APIs like this or not? and how?
Thank you.
Farbod

To change the RDN or DN you will need a modRDN/modDN operation, and not a direct LDAP modify.
For this you can use the Java JNDI API, see:

Delete future changes in person Screen using API

Hi all,
I am working on converting Contingent worker into an Employee using API. (Steps : terminate CWK API -> hire_into_job API)
In that, If any future changes exists in person screen for a contingent worker then its not allowing me to terminate that person.My client requirement is to remove future changes if exists and convert as an Employee.
I am not able to find the correct API to delete the future changes in person screen. I have checked the hr_person_api.delete_person but in API description, they mentioned it is to purge the person totally from database.
Please help me on this.
Thanks in Advance.
Regards,
Mani

Sorry mate, cant find any.
Bad that there isn't a public API for the same.
Not checked the code in PERWSHRG.fmb.
But how many people would have future changes ? Are there 10s of 100s ?
may be you can -
# If you just have simple changes in the future(i.e. no person_type changes which effect Periods of service etc..), you can simply delete the future changes and move the end-date of the penultimate record to end-of-time(31-Dec-4172). Just be sure this wont effect any others child tables(assignments, per_periods_of_service, per_person_type_usages_f etc..)

Unassign user from a OIM Group using API/Java Code

Hello OIMers,
Can you please tell me how should I Un-assign a group membership through code?
This is the case:
When the user is deleted from Active Directory, I want to Unassign the User from a group, assume the name of the group is "FullTime Employees".
Currently How I do this is Click on the User Profile in Admin Console then select Group Membership from drop down and then select unassign for that group.
Please tell me how should I do the above task programmatically, This would solve my problem.
Thanks everyone in advance.

Objectclass for change documents for contracts using condition record no.

I want the changes for price, Price per and currency for contract based on the info record number and contion record number.
Presently i am using object class is COND_A. But if user changes multiple times price, price per and currency by deleting existing price and created new price or price per or currency, this case it is saving only latest data based on the change document.
I want to change the logic as based on the change document, i will display the all changes of price, price per and Currency.
Could you suggest object class for this?

Hello,
Please check with the following user exit for the requirement that you have cited :
1. USEREXIT_XKOMV_FUELLEN_O_KONP (SAPLV61A) ( RV61AFZB ).

Comparing dates for equality using API

Hello,
I was wondering if you could help me understand if it is possible for me to compare two dates for equality.
I am looking to only compare the date and the month. So, if I am checking "today" with another objects Date for equality, it obviously fails because the compareTo and the equals method of both Date and Calendar, I think, are comparing even the timestamps.
here is something I wrote for testing, which obviously is of no use
Calendar today = Calendar.getInstance();
Calendar later = Calendar.getInstance();
later.set(Calendar.HOUR, 03);
System.out.println(today.getTime());
System.out.println(later.getTime());
if(today.equals(later)){
   System.out.println("BIG BANG");
if(today.compareTo(later)<0)
   System.out.println("Today Date is Lesser than my Date");
else if(today.compareTo(later)>0)
   System.out.println("Today Date is Greater than my date");
else
   System.out.println("Both Dates are equal");
Date today = new Date();
Date myDate = new Date();
myDate.setHours(23);
System.out.println(today);
System.out.println(myDate);
if(today.compareTo(myDate)<0)
   System.out.println("Today Date is Lesser than my Date");
else if(today.compareTo(myDate)>0)
   System.out.println("Today Date is Greater than my date");
else
   System.out.println("Both Dates are equal");
   So is then the only way left, is using the simple date formatter and going about things ?

package forums;
import java.util.Calendar;
import java.text.DateFormat;
import java.text.SimpleDateFormat;
public class CalendarExample
private static final DateFormat DF = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd");
public static void main(String[] args) {
    Calendar today = Calendar.getInstance();
    Calendar later = Calendar.getInstance();
    later.set(Calendar.HOUR, 3);
    System.out.println("today="+DF.format(today.getTime()));
    System.out.println("later="+DF.format(later.getTime()));
    System.out.println("isSameDayAndMonth(today, later) = "+isSameDayAndMonth(today, later));
    System.out.println("\n");
    Calendar tomorrow = Calendar.getInstance();
    tomorrow.set(Calendar.DATE, tomorrow.get(Calendar.DATE)+1);
    System.out.println("today="+DF.format(today.getTime()));
    System.out.println("tomorrow="+DF.format(tomorrow.getTime()));
    System.out.println("isSameDayAndMonth(today, tomorrow) = "+isSameDayAndMonth(today, tomorrow));
    System.out.println("\n");
public static boolean isSameDayAndMonth(Calendar a, Calendar b) {
    return a.get(Calendar.DATE) == b.get(Calendar.DATE)
        && a.get(Calendar.MONTH) == b.get(Calendar.MONTH)
}You're welcome... Javas standard date libraries leave a lot be desired. I recommend you try Joda, which is [a long standing JSR, which has never gotten up|http://www.theserverside.com/news/thread.tss?thread_id=44248].

Hi,
When you are doing the initial data migration at that stage you should set up the employee numbering and other numbering mechanism to manual. The reason of doing so is that when you are doing migration at that point you have the employee numbers with you for existing employees.
Once you data migration is done then you have to go to BG information and update the mechanism to Automatic. Also, if you numbering mechanism is automatic and you are not able to change to manual or vice-verse in the BG definition then use will have to use the concurrent program "Change Employee number mechanism". You will have to make the decision of changing from one type to another in a proper way.
Please find below some related articles on metalink for your reference

TO for Group (VL06O)

Hello,
I am facing an issue while creating 'TO for group' using VL06O. Many deliveries are bundled in WM-group.
Sometimes I found that deliveries are skiped while TO creation, but when I again try to create the TO (using TO for group) it giving error that "Group xxxxx already processed".
This way I can not attach the TO with that particular group...
Is there any smooth way to create the "TOs (outbound delievries) bundle to a particular group"
Please suggest....
Regards,
JPS

Hi JPS,
In our WM environment we group together deliveries and then create transfer orders for the group for the purposes of picking and then allocate picked stock back to deliveries before post goods issue. We have a slightly different process which works well, which may/may not be applicable to your situation.
1. Group deliveries by VL06O
Select deliveries to be grouped
Subsequent fuctions > Group > Wave Pick
Enter wave description
Then you are given a group number.
2. Create TOs via transaction LT0E (product will be picked into 996 storage type) for the group number.
3. Once picked, product is allocated back to deliveries (storage type 916) via LT42.
Thanks
Colin

How do you change the volume used for group folders in Lion Server?

So I'm slowly acclimating to Lion Server, however, I'm not able to determine how to specify the parent folder for Groups. By default it's the /Groups root directory on the boot volume however I'm trying to change it to an alternate drive on a separate volume. I've tried removing the sharepoint from the 'Server' admin utility and adding the alternate Group folder (on a separate volume) but to no avail.
Has anyone else worked with this?

Hey,
Open Workgroup Manager app, from the ServerAdminTools, (link) enter your domain name for your server (FQDN), enter your OpenDirectory administrator user and password, go to Groups > Groups Folder.
Hope this helps.

How do i use WGM or dcsl to change the primary groups of users, defined by another group?

i've got a ton of users, whose primary group is "current student". they all belong to the other group "year 13"
they've left school, so i thought it would be easy to do a search of users with GID equal to or containing the GID for "year 13" (in this case 1121) and then change their primary group to "left school"
except that doesn't work. i can only search for them in WGM by primary group, it seems. therefore i cannot do any batch operations on a secondary group.
so. how do i do this? is there a way of scripting dcsl to find users by 'other group' and then change the primary group attribute?
i'm going to need to be doing a lot of this (changing the other gropus of a school full of students). bit stumped.
help!

ok. for some reason neitehr root nor my account (which is part of the open directory admin group) can make changes using dscl.
when addingremoving users from groups, remember that teh UUID has to be added/removed too
this is getting there:
old=year11
new=year12
for item in `dscl /LDAPv3/127.0.0.1/ read /Groups/$old GroupMembership | cut -d: -f2`
do
echo $item
UUID=`dsmemberutil getuuid -U $item`
case "$UUID"
          in
          "There is no uuid for user $item")
                    echo "user $item need personal attention"
                    dscl -u diradmin -P 'somepassword' /LDAPv3/127.0.0.1 append /Groups/$new GroupMembership $item
                    dscl -u diradmin -P 'somepassword' /LDAPv3/127.0.0.1 append /Groups/$new GroupMembers $UUID
                    if [ "`dsmemberutil checkmembership -U $item -G $new`" == "user is a member of the group" ] ; then
                    echo "$item added to $new"
                    dscl -u diradmin -P 'somepassword' /LDAPv3/127.0.0.1 delete /Groups/$old GroupMembership $item
                    dscl -u diradmin -P 'somepassword' /LDAPv3/127.0.0.1 delete /Groups/$old GroupMembers $UUID
                              if [ "`dsmemberutil checkmembership -U $item -G $old`" == "user is a member of the group" ] ; then
                              echo "removal of $item from $old failed"
                              else
                              echo "removal of $item from $old succeded"

Profit Center Group Organization Change - Effective for Prior Periods

Hi Experts,
A client wants to perform a horizontal organization change (profit centers) and see the effects retroactively to the prior periods. To achieve this, they plan to re-execute the consolidation tasks going back two to three years once the org change is made, so that they have comparative financial statements that take into account the change. The requirement is to re-post the group level postings to the updated profit center group after the change. For example, Italy related postings would occur under the group Central Europe instead of Western Europe as before. All the group level postings previously booked to Western Europe would now need to recorded under Central Europe going back prior periods.
Does anyone have any ideas as to how to meet the requirement without re-consolidating?
One option was the restatement feature but based on the SAP help description of the monitor required, it does not take into account consolidated postings, only uploaded PL00-10 data and translation.
Another option is to copy the version but then the results is in another version rather than the original 'actual' "100" version.
Any ideas would be appreciated.
Thanks
Eyal Feiler

Eyal,
I know of no other way to accomplish this than to re-execute the consolidation for the prior periods after the hierarchy has been changed.
I have used the restatement feature and like you have found it very limited.
The copy to another version would only work if you copied the existing data to the new version before re-executing the consolidation. The the version 100 can be re-consolidated for the previous periods and the existing reports do not have to be changed for a new version.
However, with the copy, it is important to set the cons group and cons unit hierarchies to be version dependent so the changes are only good for the version that is to be re-consolidated for previous periods. This allows you to report on the data before the change where the logic will read the old, unchanged version of the hierarchy.

Dear friend,
Check table: V_503_ALL
V_T512Z and V_511_B are the tables for assigment of Permissibility based on ESG and PSA
After creating new EG/ESG (grouping also).
Please note that when we update Employee Group/Subgroup of position in PP01, it is not effective to PF in master data which was maintained with that position & old Employee group/supgroup.
So you should check:
- Position
- PFs with old EG/ESG.

Change to Consolidation Group and avoid using CoI

Hello,
We would like to use the BCS functionality Change to Consolidation Group but we don't want to implement CoI Consolidation of Investment at all. All the threads I have read seem to indicate that one has to set up CoI. Please can you advise.
Thanks

Hello all,
thank you for your responses - where under Consol Grp Change do I find the setting for the the appropriation of retained earnings? I can see the one for CoI.
Also I have had a look at both the Preparation for Acquisition and Preparation for Divestiture

which give some examples of what to expect in terms of postings and reporting re posting levels. but would still appreciate more explanations of the Posting Logic when one runs the task if you know.
Thanks
