Creating New Target Groups in Background - is this possible?

We are currently working on CRM 4.0.
We have created some custom infosets for criteria that we wish to segment our data by. However when we try and run this using the segment builder a time-out short dump occurs.
Does anyone know of a way to create the target groups through the segment builder via a background process that means we could avoid the time out issue?.
Many Thanks
Caroline

Hi Caroline,
I am sorry. I wrongly wrote it as Segment builder. But, as you correctly said,.... we can send target group to channel in marketing planner only.... not segment builder.
But, as you are saying that you have a problem in the segment builder when creating the target group........I guess when you right click on the profile set to build the target group, we also have an option,.... something like....."Build target group in background".
I am not sure, as i am not infront of the system. But, please check for this ......
Reward points if it helps....
Thanks.

Help needed to generate new target group for contacts from BP Target Group

In CRM 5.0, we have a functionality in which say we have created a target group (T1) for 10 BPu2019s (organization) and each of these BPu2019s have one or more contact persons associated to them. Now if I want to create a target group for all these contact persons associated to the 10 BPu2019s, in CRM 5.0 I have the option to right click on the target group (T1) and then I get an option u201C generate new target group from contactsu201D. By doing so another target group for all the contacts associated to those BPu2019s will be generated. I am not able to find out the similar option in CRM 2007 (web UI) where in I can create target group for contacts associated to BPu2019s (organization). There should be some work around for this requirement.
Please let me know how to achieve this requirement.
Thanks,
udaya

Hi udaya,
we're also using that functionality in CRM 5.0. I think it would be worth a combined OSS message to get this functionality back in standard if it isn't there.

Creating a target group based on the BP email address only in CRM

Hi there,
I am currently trying to create a target group based on the business partner email address only.
I have a list of over 1000 email addresses - these email addresses equate to a BP in our CRM system, however I do not have a list of the equivalent business partner numbers, all I have to work on are the email addresses. With these 1000 BP email addresses I need to update the marketing attributes of each of these 1000 BP records in CRM.
What I need is a method to find the 1000 BP numbers based on the email addresses and then use the marketing expert tool (tx. CRMD_MKT_TOOLS) to change the marketing attributes on all of the 1000 BPs.
The issue I am having is how can I find the list of BP numbers just based on the BP email address, I tried creating an infoset based on table BUT000, BUT020 and ADR6 but I after creating attribute list & data source for this I am stuck on what to do next. In the attribute list the selection criteria does not allow me to import a file for the selection range. I can only enter a value but I have 1000 email addresses and cannot possibly email them manually in the filter for the attribute list.   I also looked at imported a file into the target group but I do not have any BP numbers so this will not work.
Does anyone know a method where I can create a target group based on the email addresses only without having to do any code?
Any help would be most appreciated.
Kind regard

How to create new storage group and mailbox database on exchange 2007 CCR

Hi, Our Environment:
Exchange 2007 SP3 CCR.
Now I want to create a new storage group with edb file and log files on the new drive.
My plan is as below:
Once we have new drive ready on both active node and passive node,
1): Create new storage group with log files for this new storage group on other new drive from Active Node.
2): Create new mailbox database under this newly created storage group with the DB file on the new drive from active node.
My question is:
1): Do I need to perform above steps from active node only? or Do I need to do it from both active node and passive node?
2): How many storage groups can we create on one Exchange 2007 Enterprise server, we already have 25 SGs in place.
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
Here are my answers you can refer to:
1. We can just create new storage group on the active node. And it’ll be replicated to the passive node.
We can use the following command in EMS to verify the new Storage Group is being replicated to the passive node:
Get-StorageGroupCopyStatus "Second Storage Group" | Select SummaryCopyStatus,CCRTargetNode
http://exchangepedia.com/blog/2007/08/how-to-create-new-storage-group-in-ccr.html
2. For Exchange 2007 enterprise version, we can have up to 50 storage groups:

Create New Material Group included in Fiscal Year Range

Hi,
I have Report Maerial Group, Material & for each one having Fiscal Year
I want to create new Material Group XXX and be included in the range of fiscal year K1 & K2
How do I connect these two fiscal year to the new Material Group
Thx

Hi
I hope there is no assignment of GL account to material group. If you want that, you can assign Valuation class to material group in OMQW transaction.
Because of the valuation class, the system can find the assigned G/L account number in OBYC. In this case Transaction Key GBB and General modification VBR.
is it fine for you?

Mohsin

Hi Mohsin,
whatever name you are trying just run the below query to check if it already exists or not.
select * from apps.per_business_groups where name = 'Give here the name you are tyring'
If this returns any row means name already exist in deed. You can rename the existing business group and then create new on. However, if name doesnt exist, wait for any other reply in the forum.

UWL - Subsitution rules: create new tasks group

Hi all,
When creating new substitution rules in UWL, we can choose between three task groups (All, Disciplinary, Professional).
Is it possible to create new task grouping, and so, group task by task type/ID ? How can I define new grouping?
Thanks a lot in advance,
Cheers,
Olivier
Solved.
Edited by: Olivier Gaspard on Aug 26, 2009 12:35 PM

This can be achieved by maintaining task classes and assigning substitution profiles to task classes as per your needs.
Then you can assign the required tasks to the task classes.
There is a very well explained document on this scenario.
Check this document to achieve what you are looking for:

Creating new shipping group?

Hi,
I have created new shipping group.i intialized that in shipping group container service.when i am displaying shipping group values in jsp page.i am getting error like*"shipping group contains no item relationships"* instead of commerce item values for my new shipping group.
why am i getting this .
can anybody help this..
thanks in advance

By default order creates a hardgood shipping group . When a CommerceItem is added to the Order, that item is automatically a part of the default ShippingGroup because it is assumed that when there is only one ShippingGroup, all items are a part of that group. However, once a second ShippingGroup is added to the Order, the existing CommerceItem and any new commerce items must be explicitly assigned to one of the two shipping groups; any items that were in the default ShippingGroup are no longer a part of any ShippingGroup.

Creating new Bridge Group names in Cisco 5508 WLC??

How do we Create new Bridge Group names on Cisco 5508 WLC, with 1552E Access Point??

You create it on the 1552 once the AP joins. One it joins, you will have to choose that AP and then set the AP mode to Bridge and then apply. This will reboot the AP. Once the AP comes back, you will have a MESH tab on that specific AP or any AP that you have set to Bridge mode. You then set the AP role and the bridge group name there. Here is an older MESH deployment guide to follow.

Want to create new protection group for 2 members which are already under another protection group.

Want to create new protection group for 2 members which are already under another protection group. I have 12 servers under xyz protection group, want to move 2 members server to new protection group. How it is possible without loosing current backups.

Hi,
It all depends if the data source was originally co-located on the same replica shared with other data sources. If not then DPM will simple re-use the same replica and pick up where it left off. If it was co-located, then the old replica and RP
volume is shared and the RP's will expire as new ones are made on the new replica and RP volume created when it's re-protected.
