Create a group based on file contents

Hello!
I'm investigating options to create a dynamic group based on periodic check of file content. I have a Shavlik updater which is patching custom groups based on file contents. I would like to create a dynamic group which should return all Windows Computer
classes that are found from this file. Anything close to sensible was found at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gxASdzHFTOU where author created an attribute of based on "SELECT * FROM CIM_DataFile" and then created a group out from it - but it checks
file existence, not content, would launch against all Windows Clients (and we have 1000+ of these monitored) - certainly not a valid way.
Is there any way I could do that in a simple, straightforward way?
Thanks in advance

Ok, I got it. Have you tried modifying the group membership with powershell?

Creating Target Group from External File

Hello Experts
We need to create target group from external file. (That is to say we will have let's say txt file containing BP that belongs to specific target group and we need to assign these BPs to to specific target group in SAP CRM)
I have searched for it on sdn and found something benefical. I have found BAPI_TARGETGROUP_CREATE, I have checked it but I don't understand how should we use it becuase as far as we understand it just creates target group, we cannot see anything related with Business Partner. How can we relate BPs with the target group we create by this BAPI.
What should we do, is anyone have previous experience about it? or is there a way to do it without using BAPI.
thanks it advance

Hi,
You can do this from within the standard Web UI. It's straight out of the box.
Create a profile set and in there create a target group in the target group assignment block just by entering the description of the target group. Then enter edit mode of this target group and click the button "Import Members". Remeber to mark "Change selected target group" unless you want to create a new target group.

Splitting the Idoc data into 2 diff files based on file content.

Hi Experts,
                           Mine is a SAP - XI - File Scenerio. A perticular Idoc when triggered has a segment 4 with a Field KONDART. This Segment 4 is optional in nature and can appear n nos of times. Initially KONDART carried a value ABCD and created a File called PLU, containing 14 fields.
   Now the value of KONDART can carry ABCD as wll as many other values.
The current requirement is , if the Value of KONDART is ABCD , EFGH, etc etc , then it will create the PLU file as usual, but the moment the KONDART value is XYZ , then it will create the PLU as well as a new file called MRP, carrying only 4 fields .
    I can understand that I need to make a new DT, MT , MI . I can' make out, if i call it in Messege Mapping the PLU as well as MRP structure and map them according ly, I simply cant make out , hw to make it conditional based on the content of KONDART.
    Should I go for messege splittng, like in the second messege type , the Structure will get mapping data only if the KONDART Value is XYZ.
Is my understanding OK.
I think I can check this in Messege Mapping itself. calling 2 messege types and put a CREATEIF kind of logic for the KONDART = XYZ condition.
Pls correct me / Comment .
Regards,
Arnab Mondal.

Hi,
If I have understood your problem correctly then the solutin can be like this..
First of all create two separate mappings as well as Interface mappings (based on your different data types).
In ID, just do the conditional "Interface Determination", so whenever your condition(s) will be true the respective interface mapping(s) will be triggered and offcourse create two CC respectively.
Now when you do the "Receiver Determination" assing correct CC to corresponding interfaces.

File is not creating on the Receiver for File Content Conversion

Hi,
i have created a scenario with this blog
/people/shabarish.vijayakumar/blog/2006/02/27/content-conversion-the-key-field-problem
for sender side i am using File Content Conversion to read .txt file and on receiver side i need xml file i have done that.
when i placed the file in the sender folder it gets picked up and i checked in Communication Channel monitporing in Runtime WorkBench it is processed Successfully. but no XML File is created on the Receiver side. i am unable to see the messages on SXMB_MONI also.
Please suggest some ideas to solve this.
Thanks,
Giridhar.C

Hi Giridhar.
unable to see the messages on SXMB_MONI also
If the file got picked and in Communication Channel monitoring RWB you can see that it is processed without any errors ,, then i feel it should come in come.Please check the Audit log in RWB, there you can see the error message if any.
Please check the connection parameters in FTP and make sure that the same sender folder is
not being used by any other scenario.If you have done any recent changes then do a cache refresh .
Please post if you see any error in content conversion.

Create a filename based on form content

Hello,
I always have a hard time explaining my question's but here goes.
I have a button which saves a form once filled out. I would like to take the thinking out of this when it comes to naming the file and it create the name based on a numerical field in the form (in this case a serial number). The example would be something like 00000_Inspection Form.pdf. I am certain this can be done with javascript but not being a programmer, I have no idea where to begin with this. I have a variable set up but no idea how to act upon it.
thanks in advance.

Create a group based on row count

I am looking for a way of reducing the size of tables I am displaying in my monthly report, by counting some rows together, and naming them 'other'
I would like to always show all rows, where count of item is >= 50, but all rows where count of item < 50, total up and call 'other'. I will add an example image as soon as my account has been verified
I can hide rows using this in the visibility =iif(Count(Fields!Item.Value) >= 50, False, True)
I have duplicated the line, and added a filter to each (one for greater than 50, one for less than 50) but my totals are still counting all the data, and not just the filtered data.
Ideally, I would like to add a column using something like =iif(Count(Fields!Item.Value) >= 50, "Over50", "Under50"), or a group based on the same sort of idea, but I keep getting errors about using aggregates in columns.
Any suggestions?
Cheers

What you can do is to add derived column in query behind like this
SELECT other columns...,
CASE WHEN Cnt >= 50 THEN YourGroupingField ELSE 'Other' END AS GrpName
FROM
SELECT *,COUNT(1) OVER (PARTITION BY YourGroupingField) AS Cnt
FROM Table
)t
Then in your reports use =Fields!GrpName.Value as the Grouping column and you will get required output

Creating Resource Group based On Location

Hi,
Can we create Resource group location wise in PWA or Professional.
Thanks,
Prashant

What about creating a lookup table with the location and a resource enterprise custom fields? Then for each resource you can pickup a location. You could even then open all the resources in MS Project Pro and bulk update the location.
Hope this helps,

Dynamic interface determination based on file content

Dear all,
I am trying for a while to solve my issue, but wasn't able to find the answer. Maybe you could point me in the right direction whether using standard or BPM...
I've got one file with multiple entries. Dependend on a field value, I would like to call the right interface and Idoc.
Sample message:
<customers>
     <customer>
          <name>ABC</name>
          <city>XYZ</city>
          <trigger>A</trigger>
     </customer>
     <customer>
          <name>DEF</name>
          <city>QRT</city>
          <trigger>A</trigger>
     </customer>
     <customer>
          <name>GHI</name>
          <city>JKL</city>
          <trigger>B</trigger>
     </customer>
     <customer>
          <name>MKN</name>
          <city>TZG</city>
          <trigger>A</trigger>
     </customer>
</customers>
Dependend on the content of field "trigger" I would like to send the message to the correct interface (Idoc). I was able to trigger the interface selection in my interface determination based on a condition. So I am looking for field trigger and if = A -> Interface A is called and if = B -> interface B is called. However, it seems it is only checking for the first entry of my payload and then sending all customers to the same interface, no matter what I've got in the trigger field. What I would need is a message split and then only posting the correct rows to the selected interface.
Any ideas would be highly appreciated.
Thanks a lot,
Jens

Hi Jens,
I can think of two options:
1) The logical expression (condition) in the Interface Determination can hold a XPath expression. In your case, it could be complex, as one single XPath has to loop at all the line times for an occurrance.
Some XPath help is available at: http://www.w3schools.com/xpath/xpath_functions.asp#sequence
/people/shabarish.vijayakumar/blog/2006/06/07/customise-your-xpath-expressions-in-receiver-determination
The objective will be to remove the contexts on the trigger node to get a sequence consisting only of the trigger values, and then performing an 'index-of' function on value 'A'. If the result is a null value, then that trigger does not exist and the interface determination will not pass for 'A'. Similar condition can be used for other values of trigger.
2) Create a separate receiver system / service for each interface A, B etc. Then you can use the enhanced Receiver Determination feature in the IR itself if you are on SP16. Check this:
/people/venkataramanan.parameswaran/blog/2006/03/17/illustration-of-enhanced-receiver-determination--sp16
Good luck,

Dynamically creating a Record Group based on Previously entered Record Grou

Forms [32 Bit] Version 10.1.2.3.0 (Production)
Hi,
I know how to dynamically create a record group based on a query and putting the code in When new form instance.
My query is. I have a form which has multiple Record Groups and the user wants to dynamically create subsequent groups based on previous groups.
For example
I have a record group with selects a Location,
when the user selects the Location from a list of values
the 2nd record group called 'Cost Centres' will have to filter out only those with the locations selected above.
How can I populate the 2nd record group at run-time when I do not know what site the user will select?
If I simply populate in when new form instance as in location and just select everything, the list of values populates.
CC field is a LIST ITEM and the list style is a POP LIST, it is not required.
I have put the code in the Location field in the when-list-changed trigger.
I am getting this error:
frm-41337: cannot populate the list from the record group
here is the code:
DECLARE
v_recsql Varchar2(1000); -- The SQL for creating the Record Group.
v_recgrp RecordGroup; -- Record Group
v_status Number; -- Return Value of Populate_Group function.
c_where VARCHAR2(1000);
BEGIN
     IF :location = '1' THEN
          c_where := ' substr(cost_centre,1,2) in (''01'',''02'')';
     ELSIF :location = '2' THEN
          c_where := ' substr(cost_centre,1,2) in (''02'',''03'')';
     ELSIF :location   = '3' THEN
          c_where := ' substr(cost_centre,1,2) in (''01'',''11'',''07'')';
               ELSE
          c_where := ' 1=1'; --EVERYTHING
     END IF;
v_recsql := 'SELECT cost_centre, description FROM   cost_centres where '||c_where;
-- Create the Record Group
v_recgrp := CREATE_GROUP_FROM_QUERY('v_recgrp', v_recsql);
IF NOT ID_NULL(v_recgrp)
THEN -- No Error, record group has been successfully created.
-- Populate Record Group
v_status := POPULATE_GROUP('v_recgrp');
IF v_status = 0
THEN -- No Error. Record Group has been Populated.
POPULATE_LIST('block.CC', 'v_recgrp');
END IF; -- IF v_status = 0
-- Delete the Record Group as it is no longer needed.
DELETE_GROUP('v_recgrp');
END IF; -- IF NOT ID_NULL(v_recgrp)
END;thanks for your assistance.

Hi,
Once record status gets change for block you can not populate/repopulate the list item. Keep those list items as non-database item with different names and create different items as database orignal items. Than assign the values in WHEN-LIST-CHANGE trigger to the actual database items.

I want to create xml file using photoshop script and also i can easily add, modify, delete based on file name

Hi,
Please help me for this.
I need to create XML file for mentioned below. when i run the photoshop script i need deatails for active document name, date, time and status.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<sample>
<filename>Cradboard_Boxes_Small.tif</filename>
<date>today date</date>
<starttime>now</starttime>
<status>delivered</status>
</sample>
<sample>
<filename>Cardboard_Boxes_Student_Vaue_Pack.jpg</filename>
<date>today date</date>
<starttime>now</starttime>
<status>delivered</status>
</sample>
I need read that xml after creating and modify based on file name. i need to modify status after file finished.
if the file name is already exist i want to modify or delete or add whatever i need.
Kindly help me simple way

You may want to look into getting Xtools ps-scripts - Browse Files at SourceForge.net then. Most of the support is for ActionManager script code where XML code is use as an intermediate step. There are quite a few Photoshop script in XTools . Ross Huitt is an expert javascript programmer though is is fed up with Adobe's lack of support for Photoshop scripting particularly the bugs in ScriptUI he is still maintaining tool he has created for us free of charge. Tools like Image Processor Pro. None of his scripts are save as binary so you can read all of his code there is a wealth of knowledge in there....
Also there is a scripting forum Photoshop Scripting

Grouping Based on Parameters

Hi
can anyone lease explain me how to create a group based on the parameters entered by the user ?

hmm, are your parameters set to dynamic? if yes here is the solution which might work - Direct from Crystal Report Help file
Adding dynamic grouping using parameter fields
You can design your report so that users can change the grouping presentation of the report without refreshing information from the database. For instance, users can move from a customer-focused view of the report to either a region-focused or an order-focused view. Dynamic grouping combines the use of group selection formulas and the Parameter Panel.
To add dynamic grouping using parameter fields
Create a report using the sample data, Xtreme.mdb, and place the following fields from left to right in the Details section:
{Customer.Customer Name}
{Customer.Country}
{Orders.Order ID}
{Orders.Order Date}
{Orders.Order Amount}
Create a new parameter field and call it GroupBy.
Select String from the Type list.
Add the following values to your parameter:
Customer
Country
Order
Select Editable from the Show on (Viewer) Panel list, and click
OK.
Create a new formula field and call it GroupField.
Type the following formula into the Formula text box.
If {?GroupBy} = 'Customer' then
{Customer.Customer Name}
Else if {?GroupBy} = 'Country' then
{Customer.Country}
Else if {?GroupBy} = 'Order' then
*ToText({Orders.Order ID})
Note: Crystal Reports formulas do not allow conditions to return different data types. Both the Customer Name and Country fields return strings, so the ToText function must be used to convert the
Order ID from a number to a string as well.
Save your formula and close the Formula Workshop.
In the Group Expert, select the GroupField formula as your group field, and click OK.
Customize summary fields and section formatting as you like.
Users can now change the grouping presentation of the report by modifying the GroupBy parameter value on the Parameter Panel.
Note: Changing parameter values will not cause a database refresh as long as the parameter is a non-data parameter.
hope this helps

Authorization Error while exporting a target group to local file

Dear All,
When we tried to export a created target group to local file, system gave an error message: "Authorization required. See SAP Note: 697572".
In this note, it tells that we should add certain authorization entries into the Java policy file under: \lib\security. It mentioned:
Authorization              Target name       Action
RuntimePermission                                modifyThread
PropertyPermission        user.dir           read
FilePermission            <<ALL FILES>>   read
FilePermission            <<ALL FILES>>    write
RuntimePermission                                  shutdownHooks
And what we put into the policy file is as below:
     permission java.util.PropertyPermission "user.dir", "read";
     permission java.util.FilePermission "ALL FILES", "read";
     permission java.util.FilePermission "ALL FILES", "write";
     permission java.util.RuntimePermission "modifyThread";
     permission java.util.RuntimePermission "shutdownHooks";
We are not sure about whether we should put <<ALL FILES>> or ALL FILES, but tried both way and still didn't work.
Could you please share your experience on this?
Thanks!

Tried again and it worked.

File Content conversion - IDOC to Fixed length File

Hi,
Scenario : SAP R/3(IDOC) -> XI -> Fixed Length file
IDOC is sending from SAP R/3, XI has to do the mapping and send a Fixed length File to /tmp in XI.
When I am using the message Protocol as "File" in the Receiver communication channel, XML file is writing to /tmp. When I am using "File Content Conversion" as a message protocol,Empty File is writing. Can anybody tell me why empty file is creating. Can we use File content Conversion in this scenario. Is there any additional parameter or settings required?
Receiver communication channel settings:
Message Protocol: File Content Conversion
File type       : Binary
Recordstructure : MT_V_PER01
Name                             Value

PDF's I'm creating with Group 4 data report Insufficient Data for Image

I am maintaining a software application, which creates PDF files from JPEG and TIFF (with Group 4 compression) image files, which typically come from scanners. It has performed well for many years, but as of the release of Adobe Reader X, we are seeing "Insufficient Data for Image" on some images.
I've read reports of this message on these forums, and I've tried shrinking the image, adjusting zoom, and upgrading to Adobe Reader XI -- none of these have worked.
Our software creates these PDF files by wrapping the raw image data in an XObject, which looks like this:
24 0 obj
<< /Type /XObject
/Subtype /Image
/Name /Im1
/Filter /CCITTFaxDecode
/Width 1704
/Height 2200
/BitsPerComponent 1
/ColorSpace /DeviceGray
/DecodeParms <</K -1 /Columns 1704 /Rows 2200 >>
/Length 25 0 R >>
stream
<<BINARY DATA>>
endstream
endobj
25 0 obj
31512
endobj
Wherein, the <<BINARY DATA>> are 31,512 bytes of raw image data -- the same data which would appear in a Group 4 compressed TIFF file.
Indeed, when we do create a Group 4 TIFF file with the same binary data, it opens successfully in all common viewers.
Any assistance, such as the precise meaning of this error message, could be helpful.

Just a note that the bug appears to relate to JPXDecode, so far as all previous reports seem to suggest (no inside information). JPXDecode supports multiple image resolutions in the same image, so messing with zoom sometimes helps. If you can post a complete file somewhere it might interest someone who could analyse it.
The message simply means that decompressing the filters does not yield enough bytes. This may either reflect that there really isn't enough data, or it could indicate any kind of data error (which causes the filter to silently return EOF).

Creating user groups using SQ03.

I am going to make a change to a already existing query 01 in the user group /SAPQUERY/AM. I am not a query expert, in fact this is the second query that I am modifing. I am reading some documentation that the first thing that I have to do is create a user group. from what I am reading, the user group will contain the users that are allowing to modify queries. Since our users do not use this tool, I am the only one that creates and modifies queries. I think I am going to create a user group and that my user-id will be the only one in the group - correct? will I create one user group and and queries that I make changes to in the future user this user group or do I create user groups based on the users group that are defined by SAP. example - If I am changing a query in /SAPQUER/AM and in /SAPQUERY/AU - would I create 2 user groups 1 for AM and 1 for AU or would I create only 1 user group and use it for both queries.
After this, I think I have to copy the infoset (SQ02)and the query (SQ01) to custom names (names starting with Z) and then attaching the parts to the new user group.

Hi Timothy
Typically you want to create user groups for functional areas or grouped reports/queries. You can enter as many users as needed into a user group and only those who have the checkbox next to their name in the user group screen will have authorization to create/modify queries in the infosets where the usergroup is assigned. If you are creating 2 usergroups with the same users and authorizations then that is redundant but if the list of users is different or the authorizations may change then it would make sense to have 2 usergroups. You should have some naming convention to follow when creating the queries but the Z prefix is not required.
