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.

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.

Hi Rajiv
I have the same issue with my BI Query. Hope you have resolved by now, if you have please do let me know.
What we have done is, created a BI Query and used this query in in CRM datasource, then created some filters where i can see the objects in the query while creating filters in Attributes List. But when we use these filters to create Target group, its not resulting any results in the query, i mean not brining any values on segmentation area. This issue is only in Production as we have already tested in Test and passed without any problems. But in Production we have this issue, i m not sure why this is happening, i spoke to BW team regarding this and they are not sure eitherl. If you know could you please let me know

Creating Target group

HI all,
I am trying to create the target group in Segment builder, for which I have done the following settings
1)I have maintained Attributes and attribute set,
2)i have assigned attribute set to Business partner.
3)I also have created Data source here i have maintained
Origin type as attribute set
maintained name of attribute set
function module used Cross-selling: function module CRM_MKTPR_PP_CS_TG_READ,and description.
4)Created attribute list as follows
Description_______
Category:Product proposal
Segment type:Product Proposal and saved.
Then assigned data source and highleted what ever attributes required to display in Segment builder.
The issue here is:
When i go to Segment builder(crmd_mktseg):
in Segment builder when i tried to create profile set for product proposal the system is asking for Profile set description and Master group.
and i am unable to drag and drop profile set onto staging area and create target group.
can u/any one advice me in this regard/
Thanks in advance.
mdv.

Hi mdv,
For the purpose of creating your target group, the name of the profile set is of no importance. CRM just requires that you do create the target group within a profile set. That being said, when you create a profile set and system asks you for profile set description and master group, just put any words in the description field that is meaningful to you, and don't select anything in the master group.
Once this is done, you will need to drag and drop your 'filter' that you created for your attribute list into the staging area. Then, one very important step (which I missed in the beginning and it took me 8 hours to figure out) is that you need to click on the 'Count' button. Once you see a number on the target group, it means the filter is working. From there you can create your target group and open it for list export.
Hope this helps.

Best to load preloader from external file or place it directly into existing movie?

Is it best to load the preloader from external file or place it directly into an already existing movie?

there's no one answer for everyone.
but for an inexperienced coder that's already completed their main project and is adding a preloader as an after-thought, it's usually easiest to create a stand-alone preloader.
and even for experienced coder's, that's usually the easiest way to preceed.

Target group from filter criteria of an attribute list.

I have created an Attribute list in the T-code CRMD_MKTDS and a filter criteria for this attribute list.
Now, I would like to use this filter criteria to create a Target Group.
So, is there any Function Module, standard Report program or methods of any standard class to create a target group using this filter criteria ?
How can I determine the BPs related to the filter criteria and assign them to a Target Group?

Hi,
You can use class 'CL_CRM_MKTTG_GENIL_TG' or Function module ''CRM_MKTTG_TG_READ'
to create Target group's from Profiles.
Hope this helps.

BAPI to create Target groups

Hi Gurus,
The scenario is I will get a list of Business Partners as a file.The program should create a Target group and attach the list of partners to the created Target group.Is there a BAPI to create Target group?.Kindly let me know
Points assured for helpful answers.

Hi RAghu,
please check if the following BAPI's fullfill your requirements:
BAPI_TARGETGROUP_CREATE
BAPI_TARGETGROUP_ADD_BP
if you want to fill a target group with BPs the target group has to
exists before.
Moreover, it is unlikely, that BAPI_TARGETGROUP_CREATE is useful
in your process (because it generates a TG for an existing
profile group!
Kind Regards´

Create target group for contacts does not work

Hi Experts,
I am working on a Markting solution for a University with CRM 5.0.
We need to contact certain Teachers in Schools (they have an orientation function for pupils that might study in the University in the future).
I can segment for schools in Segmentbuilder. Now, I need to generate "new target group from contact". In my case the contact person of the school is the Teacher (function type is contact person). This does not work.
Am I missing some parametrization, or is there a relation to sales area (wich we do not have).
Hoping for your help. I will regard points generously.
cristina

Hi Cristina,
I understand Schools are crated as Org and Teacher as Persons. There exist a Relationship between these similar to Contact Person (BUR001).
Now, Follow the process
1) Create a Data Source in CRMD_MKTDS.
2) Assign an Infoset Query, as per your scenario.
3) Assign Function Module "CRM_MKTTG_PF_BP_TAB_TO_CP" to data source
4) Save, and then create an Attribute List.
Go to Segment Builder and create target group based on above Attribute List.
You'll get a list of all the contact persons. For your case, Teachers.
Hope this helps......
Regards,
Vikas
PS: This will only work if Schools - Org, Teacher = Person and Relationship = BUR001. If you have other criterias please copy Function Module "CRM_MKTTG_PF_BP_TAB_TO_CP" and edit it as per your business case. Then assign this FM in Data Source.

How to create a Group from an existing email -

I just want to create a Group from an existing email received. Don't want to add people individually to Address Book, then drag them to the Group. Would prefer to copy/paste the addresses into the Group. I'm part of a team at work wth 25 people! Do I really have to add their addresses individually? Seems ridiculous. Don't even need their names - just the emails, so when I type in "United," for example, I get all the folks in that Group which is named "United."
Thanks.

There was a "magical" set of Applescripts that would have done that, but it no longer works.
There is no way in the OS to do that besides making the Applescript yourself using the current Script Editor.
Another way to do what you want is to select all of the addresses (select one, then cmd-A). Then, drag the selection to somewhere in the Finder. That will create a text clipping. You can then drag that text clipping into the address field in Mail.
The text clipping will be named with the first few email addresses. You can rename it in the Finder.
Each one can be your own "distribution" list.

Create multiple PDFs from multiple files

Hi everyone
I'm trying to use the "Create multiple PDFs from multiple files" function in Acrobat 9 Pro (version 9.4.6) to create about 100 PDFs from InDesign CS5 files. Theoretically this would do the trick for my purpose. BUT: When running the function, it does not use the CS5 InDesign (version 7.0.3), but tries to open the files with InDesign CS3. Of course this does not work. We, as a professional working agency, have installed CS3, CS4 and CS5. Even with making the InDesign CS3 .app invisible an pushing it into the garbage bin during the process did not work. Acrobat still wants to access InDesign CS3. It is not possible to downgrade the files to CS3 files, for there are special (i.e. interactive) functions which only work in CS5. It would be more work than creating the PDFs manually, anyways.
Does anyone have similar issues? Any ideas how to solve the problem?
Thanks in advance.
Thinka

OK, cool, I found one, which seems to work just fine.

How to create Inbound Idoc from XML file-Need help urgently

Hi,

Please let me know the process to trigger inbound Idoc with out using XI and any other components.
Thanks in advance
Dora Reddy

Hi .. Did either of you get a result on this?
My question is the same really .. I am testing with WE19 and it seems SAP cannot accept an XML inbound file as standard.
I see lots of mention of using a Function Module.
Am I correct in saying therefore that ABAP development is required to create a program to run the FM and process the idoc?
Or is there something tht can be done with Standard SAP?
Thanks

Getting error "Cannot create a BACPAC from a file that does not contain exported data." from SqlManagementClient.Dac.ImportAsync

We're trying to import a dacpac to azure via the new SqlManagementClient DacOperations ImportAsync api I get an exception with the error: "Cannot create a BACPAC from a file that does not contain exported data."
This same dacpac imports fine using an alternate but less friendly API from sql server's tooling. We'd like to use the new management SDK instead for various reasons.

Hi Kyle A Wilt,
I am trying to involve someone more familiar with this topic for a further look at this issue. Sometime delay might be expected from the job transferring. Your patience is greatly appreciated.
