Developer Center and Users Group Speakers

Two questions:
1. Who is responsible for keeping the SAP PowerBuilder Developer Center home page current? About 50% of the links point to Not Found pages.
2. Who at SAP would be the contact for getting someone to come speak at a PowerBuilder users group meeting? In the past, I had many of the Sybase representatives contact information but I have 0 contacts at SAP.
It's been an uncertain path to chart for PowerBuilder development efforts at our company not knowing if this product is going to be supported.
Thanks,
-Allen

Hi Allen,
>>My manager "heard" that PowerBuilder was no longer being supported after 2015.<<
I hear that very often! And I am very sad about it, because these rumors come from people right out of our community.
I spend a lot of my spare time in fighting this fire that is lit again and again without any proof!
I spoke with senior SAP managers and saw and heard what they said at our PBUGG Meeting last year. From this I can say that PowerBuilder is now a SAP product and has the same support and maintenance that SAP gives to all their other products!
I just spent 4 hours in supplying material to one of our UserGroup Members who is in the same trouble as you!
If you go to Bruce’ blog http://brucearmstrong.blogspot.de/ the first video More video from the PowerBuilder User Group Germany http://vimeo.com/81870887 you find after 13:00 min Robyn Chan speaking of 8 years maintenance.
SAP has a general paper about their release and maintenance strategy called “SAP Release Strategy” See: http://scn.sap.com/blogs/sapreleasestrategy (but you need a S-Id).
If you don’t have a S-Id you can look at what’s public for Business Objects. http://scn.sap.com/docs/DOC-31244 and Chrystal products http://scn.sap.com/docs/DOC-44670?rid=/webcontent/uuid/c018fb0e-8724-2b10-c489-9b8333e5e0f9. I think you can expect at least the same for PowerBuilder.

Check the Oracle reference I have provided earlier. Concept goes like this:
Important difference is that upgrading from 10g to 11g is called an "out-of-place upgrade" while upgrading to another 11g is called an "in-place upgrade," because the upgrade operates on existing files. Moving from one 11g release to another 11g release is sometimes referred to as "patching."
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E21764_01/bi.1111/e16452/bi_plan.htm#BABECJJH
Follow patching and not out-of-place upgrade as you are required to upgrade component

Database Account and User Groups

Hello,
Currently, I am using DATABASE ACCOUNT for an authentication scheme for all of my applications but, I would like to setup User Groups as well to limit users to thier prospective pages and/or objects within the application for easy maintenance of users. I have read that, in order to apply user groups in an application, you must use APPLICATON EXPRESS ACCOUNT credentials.
Another developer has modified the "APEX_ACCESS_CONTROL" table with an additional column(s) that would allow access to specific pages. I am not sure if this is good practice to modify Apex tables.
Is there a way to create user groups while using DATABASE ACCOUNT for authentication? What is the best practice in a case like this?
Can anyone please shed some light on this? Thanks.
- Dee

Dee,
I would like to setup User Groups as well to limit users to thier prospective pages and/or objects within the application for easy maintenance of users.I'm not clear on what your purpose is, just runtime authorization, or something more?
Another developer has modified the "APEX_ACCESS_CONTROL" table with an additional column(s) that would allow access to specific pages. I am not sure if this is good practice to modify Apex tables.Those tables belong to your application's parsing schema and they are accessed only by code in applications you develop. The Application Express machinery knows nothing about them.
Is there a way to create user groups while using DATABASE ACCOUNT for authentication?You can create your own tables to define groups and to keep track of which named accounts belong to which groups. And you can write an API for applications to use to query this information and to maintain it from custom applications built for that purpose.

Trash and user group help!

why do i need to type in password when i delete things? how do i remove it?
and i can't delete items directly from the dock as well. like opening from the downloads folder and dragging the file to trash. i have to bring open up Finder and delete from the folder directly.
another issue is that am i able to remove the gues user from my start up screen? i've already disabled it from the user groups but i still see it in my login screen.
one last problem, is it a norm to have current leakage for the MBP? i've been having frequent shocks from the 2 bottom corners of it when i plug it in to a power source. i bought it from an authorized retailer and using it in the country where i've gotten it from. i've just gotten my mbp about 3 weeks back.
thanks for replying my queries!

Hi,
Yeah in ACS 3.1 its under the Shared Profile Components page. In ACS 4.1 its directly under the user groups or under SPC page.
You need to check the box for "define ip based access restriction" and deny access for all other groups to the wireless access points network device group.
ACS 3.X)
1. Denied Calling/Point of access restrictions
2. AAA Clients =UPS_PDU (Power Supplies)
3. Port = just put a * for all
4. Src IP address = just put a * as well
SUBMIT to SAVE
Create a second one for the other group like so:
1. Denied Calling/Point of access restrictions
2. AAA Clients =Routers_Switches
3. Port = just put a * for all
4. Src IP address = just put a * as well
Click submit to save it.
Go to the ACS User groups section and select the Network Administrators Group " that don't need access to the UPS's" and apply the NAR you created to that group. Do the same for the other grouping.
(ACS 4.X)
Go directly under the "user groups" and create the NAR under there. No need to go under the Shared Profile Components section
Hope this helps and let me know if you need further assistance or explanation.

How to create secutiry filters and users, groups in system 9

HI,
Could you please help me how to create security filters and groups, users in system 9. I need it very ugent. i am very much thankful to you.. if you respond immediatly.
Thanks,
sudhakar.

In short here's how I did it in 9.3.1 but there are multiple ways to do it.
I'm using MSAD external authentication.
Using EAS right click on database, Edit, Filters. Create your filters.
Then go to Shared Services.
Find the MSAD user/group and provision them to the Essbase database that you have your filters on. Access level is "Filter".
Then go back to EAS and Refresh Security From Shared Services.
Then go back to Shared Services.
Navigate to Projects & then your Essbase server. Find your Essbase database and click on it. To the right it'll populate a list of all the users/groups you provisioned to above. Select all of them and click Next.
Now you should see a drop down at the top showing your filter(s). Click the checkbox(s) next to the users/groups you want to apply that filter to. Click the green checkmark to apply the filter, and repeat for your various filters that you want to apply. Only 1 filter per user/group.
Then go back to EAS and Refresh Security From Shared Services again.
Good luck, hope this helps.

Changing permissions and user groups in 10.5/10.6

I recently installed a second hard drive into my mac pro. i noticed that the permissions for the volume on this drive and all of the files on it are as follows:
johnhorner (me) "read/write"
staff sometimes "read/write", sometimes just "read only"
everyone "read only"
i don't remember ever setting up a group named staff and can't find it listed anywhere. the startup volume has a different set of permissions listed:
johnhorner (me) read/write
admin "read/write"
everyone "read"
can anyone tell me where "staff" came from and how i can change it to match the same set of permissions on the startup drive?
i would like them to match because i am using some backup software which triggers if the permissions don't match. furthermore, the permissions displayed in the sync software show for example "rwx r-x r-x" or "rw- r-- r--". in setting the permissions in the get info panel for a given file or folder, i don't see how to change the "x" part of the permissions, only the read and write. does anyone know how to change the "x" aspect of the permissions?
any help would be much appreciated.
thanks,
jhorner

HI,
The only time it's necessary to repair permissions is before and after software updates.
Some permissions can be safely ignored.. http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1448
Which is exactly what I've done since 10.2
These messages are not "errors" that mean anything is wrong. Nothing is wrong, and some future update will likely address the issue. For now they can simply ignore them.
BTW, when you run DU and repair disk permissions, make sure and Quit all other open applications. That can speed things up.
BTDTGT. Under 10.5.6, it used to take about 10 - 15 minutes, so when I passed the 25 minute mark under 10.5.7 with no progress, I stopped DU and tried again with Onyx. After the same amount of delay, I posted my question only to get a snide reply. It finally finished but I don't know what the final elapsed time was as I ignored that computer while I did things on another one.

Provisioning EP roles and user groups through CUP

Hello experts,
I am configuring EP provisioning through CUP.
I created the EP connector as per the instructions in the config guide. But I have not added any parameter values or did any field mapping. I have imported necessary Portal roles.
My EP connector is tested successful. But when I try to provision a role through CUP, I get this error:
Error processing your request, Request no: 4 in stage : NEW_AS11.
In the log it shows, Field Mapping is not set for Application (EP)
But when I go to field mapping, I get this error for EP.
Data retrieval from system XP1 failed : com.virsa.ae.service.ServiceException: com.sap.engine.services.webservices.jaxm.soap.accessor.NestedSOAPException: Unable to create message from source.
I could not find much documentation on fieldmapping.
Are there any steps that I am missing for EP provisioning?
Thanks in advance..
Kee

Thanks for your response.
I have set up the parameters while setting up the EP connector in CUP.
My role search URI is correct but I am not sure about the last three parameters...
ASSIGN_GROUPS:OC sapgroup
ASSIGN_ROLES:OC saprole
CHANGE_USER:OC sapuser
CREATE_USER:OC sapuser
CREATE_USER:password password
DELETE_USER:OC sapuser
LOCK_USER:OC sapuser
LOCK_USER:islocked true
RESET_PASSWORD:OC sapuser
RESET_PASSWORD:password password
ROLESEARCH_URI - http://portalserver name:port number/UserRoleSearchForAEService_5_3/Config1?wsdl&style=document
ROLESEARCH_URI_USERNAME - same user Id I provided for the connector
ROLESEARCH_URI_PASSWORD See your system administrator for the value.
UNLOCK_USER:OC Sapuser
UNLOCK_USER:islocked false
ROLE_DATA_SOURCE -- ROLE.UME_ROLE_PERSISTENCE.un:   ??? What is the role data source?? Is the value that is provided is correct for the UME roles
SCHEMA_ID SAPprincipals   ?? What does this Schema Id mean???
USER_DATA_SOURCE ???? Should we mention the user data source on the Portal system. In our case, it is the LDAP. But what would be the corresponding parameter value for LDAP.
So when I go to field mapping to create one for EP, I get the following error:
Data retrieval from system XP1 failed : com.virsa.ae.service.ServiceException: com.sap.engine.services.webservices.jaxm.soap.accessor.NestedSOAPException: Unable to create message from source.

Custom User Groups in GRC Access Control Risk and Remediation 5.3

Hi all,
Does anyone know how I can mass upload assignments of users to custom user groups in R&R?
We have a requirement to group users in a different way to the SAP user groups so I wanted to create new 'custom' user groups in R&R and allocate specific users. We're talking about 3000 users so I can't do it manually.
Regards
Amir

Hi Amir,
I don't think there is direct way to do this. You might be able to pull this off by going through the back-door (database update). Talk to SAP support about this and they should be able to provide you with the tablenames which gets affected by users and user groups upload.

Alpesh

No notifications in ESP Developer Center

Hello,
I am following the ESP Developer Center and I have email notifications turned on. I am not getting an email notification when a customer posts a question to the forums. For example, this question was posted three days ago and I have not received a notification so I don't know to go out and answer their questions:

Then go to http://scn.sap.com/user-preferences!input.jspa and set "Everything in my Communications page" to "On."
Alternatively, you can select "Receive email notifications" from the actions box instead.

Pulling user/group field data from SharePoint list using REST, jQuery, Knockout.js Sharepoint 2013

I'm trying to make an interactive task board based on the task list app in SharePoint 2013. The task lisk includes fields like "Title","Description","Status","% Complete","Due Date","Assigned To",
etc. I used knockout.js to bind "Title","Description", and "Status" to my HTML controls. Here is some of the code:
var ViewModal = function(items, listname){
var self = this;
self.sortBy = ko.observableArray(sortBy);
self.tasks = ko.observableArray(items);
self.listname = ko.observable(listname);
self.auto = ko.observable(false);
self.getTasks = function() {
clearTimeout(self.getTasks);
// server relative url to REST service endpoint
var ajaxurl = _spPageContextInfo.webServerRelativeUrl + "/_vti_bin/listdata.svc/" + self.listname() + "?$orderby=PriorityValue";
$.ajax({
type: "GET",
url: ajaxurl,
contentType: "application/json; charset=utf-8",
dataType: "json",
cache: false,
processData: true,
success: function (data, status, xhr) {
if (status == "success" && data) {
ko.mapping.fromJS(data.d.results, mapping, self.tasks)
$(".task-item").draggable();
error: alert
if (self.auto()) {
setTimeout(self.getTasks, 10000);
<div class="tasks-column">
<div class="column-header">Not Started</div>

<div class="task-item">
<div class="view" data-bind="visible: !IsEditing()">
<button class="edit" data-bind="click: $root.editTask">edit</button>
<h2><span data-bind="text: Title"></span></h2>
<div data-bind="html: Description"></div>
<span data-bind="text: PriorityValue"></span>
</div>
<div class="edit" data-bind="visible: IsEditing">
<button class="save" data-bind="click: $root.saveTask">save</button>
<input type="text" data-bind="value: Title"></input>
</div>
</div>
I'm having trouble displaying the data from the "Assigned To" user/group field. I tried:
<span data-bind="text: AssignedTo"></span>
But it displays the field as [object Object]
I tried using $select/$expand
?$select=Title,AssignedTo/Id,Assignedto/Title&$expand=AssignedTo/Id,AssignedTo/T‌itle";
But it still returns the [object Object]

Hi,
Please use the REST URI below:
/_api/lists/getbytitle('ListName')/items?$select=Title,AssignedTo/ID,AssignedTo/Title&$expand=AssignedTo/ID,AssignedTo/Title

Export/import login server and user grup security

Hi,
I followed the instructions to export Login server, user group
security using the ssoexp.csh, secexp.csh. Then I imported the
login server, and user group security using the ssoimp.csh,
secimp.csh .
I then logged into Portal and check the users, all the users are
imported properly. However, I didn't see any group that are
supposed to be imported. Do I missing anything?
The syntax to run the secimp is as follows:
secimp.csh -s portal30 -p portal30 -o portal30 -m reuse -d
sec.dmp -c target_database
The import finished w/o error. How can I see the groups in the
new portal instance that I tried to import objects in?
I noticed that the wwsec_group$ in the source area is over 3000,
and in the target the count is only 10, which is the number of
group I have before the import. But during the export, I don't
see the wwsec_group$ table being exported, is that the problem?
P.S. versions are: 9iAS 1.0.2, portal version 3.0.9.8 on solaris.
Thanks;
Kelly.

This question is best suited to the Oracle9iAS SSO and Portal Security forum.
Thanks

User in 2 user groups always picks the rights from the group with least access -BOBJ 4.1 SP2

We have BOBJ 4.1 SP2 installed.
Lets say User1 is in a role1(User group) that has restricted access(no access to design menu for WEBI report in launchpad). Works fine when User1 logs into the launchpad. Cannot see the Design menu in Launchpad.
User1 is also in another role2(user group) that has Design access for WEBI report (more like Power user access).
Now when logged into a launch pad via SAP portal, and opening WEBI report on which role2 (user group) is applied that has Design access, user1 cannot see the Design menu of WEBI report. This is probably happening because User1 is also part of role1 that has restricted access. So it looks like it is always picking
the role with least access and applying it no matter which report I am opening.
I would expect the role to regulate the authorizations on the report. And one user could be a simple end user for one report and a power user for another report.
Please advise if this is a Known issue or expected behavior. Is there a work around?
Thank you very much

Hello Suman,
Try avoid denial based security rights assignment instead you can specify the unspecifed. As Greg said
Denied + Granted = Denied
Denied + Not Specified = Denied
Granted + Not Specified = Granted.
You should not deny rights for HR End User usergroup, Instead make them as unspecified. If you do so the whenever the user part of both the groups , your security rights aggregation would be
Granted + Not Specified = Granted.
Make sure you follow the approach as above. You can refer the blog below for how to structure the folder, report and User group hierarchy and effective maintenance of security
