Enhance output of Target Group opened in segment builder

Hello Experts,
We are implementing SAP CRM Lean Marketing using CRM 7.0. Our business requirement is to do segmentation based on Company attributes and Relationship Category. The output of the target group should enlist the persons related to the Company based on the relationship category selected while doing the segmentation.
Using standard InfoSet CORM_MKTTG_BP_ORG_CDE and while creating data source selecting BUT000_PER-PARTNER_GUID in the field business partner, we are able to get the list of persons matching the segmentation query (based on the relationship category e.g. Has Supplier, Has Contact Person, etc) . But the issue is , the output of the target group (shown as an ALV grid , when the target group is opened in segment builder) only enlists matching Persons, it does not enlist the related company ID /name in front of the Person ID in the output of the target group. And this Company BP ID is not available if I try to modify the output layout. So business is unable to understand the Person enlisted in TG belongs to which Company. Can we enhance this ALV grid output of the target group displayed in segment builder ? if yes , how can it be achieved ? If this is possible and we are able to add related company BP ID/ name in front of every person enlisted in the target group then our issue gets resolved. Or is there any alternative solution to resolve this issue ?
Highly appreciate your early response in order to resolve this critical issue.
Thanks and Regards

Naresh,
Thanks for the response.
As per your suggestion I made additions to my z Infoset , and added all the fields you suggested.
While creating the data source I selected following fields
Business Partner: BUT000_PER-PARTNER_GUID (as my requirement is to return Persons and this field works with only GUID)
Reference Object: BUT051-RELNR
Reference Object Type: BUT051-RELTYP
Now when I create the target group with this data source unfortunately I am still not getting the the relationship number when I click in Show assigned Objects in the target group screen of web UI.
Please suggest where I am going wrong
Thanks

Hello Experts,
We tried implementing BADI CRM_MKTTG_SEG_MEM_EX in order to add Company ID/ Name , but the issue is the BADI gets Input as persons BP id, nothing else, due to this if a person is having relationships with multiple companies, the BADI is unable to identify which company to choose as Relationship Category is not available to the BADI. And further issue is if a Person is having same relationship category with 2 companies e.g. Supplier for company A and for Company B too , in this case too the BADI is unable identify correct Company to return to the target group output
Is there someting in the Infoset that can resolve our issue ? How can I make available the fields in the infoset to the ALV output of the target group. Using SQ02 I am able to add fields to the field groups for selection in segmentation, but can anyone guide, how to make the field available in the output list ?
Please provide your technical assistance
Thanks

CRM Target Groups and Product Segments - BW and BPS settings

Hi gurus,
I have some questions regarding the CRM Target Groups and Product Segments as it relates to BW and BPS planning layouts.
1. When a target group is created in CRM, is it supposed to also be create master data entry for the object 0TGGRP_ID in BW? If it is, what kind of settings need to be made to ensure that? When we create target groups in our CRM instance, we donu2019t see the master data being updated for the 0TGGRP_ID info object.
2. Where exactly (in BW) is the relationship between the target group and the underlying customer/business partners stored/updated? We have a requirement to use target groups for defining the trade promotions and still being able to explode and plan on (individual) customers in the embedded BPS Planning layout. I believe that we need to have target group and associated customer assignments stored somewhere (?) in BW and use BPS characteristic relationships to populate all the possible combinations for a target group ID being passed from CRM. Am I correct in my assumptions? Any ideas if SAP has already delivered something similar in the BPS business content for TPM?
3. We are planning to use product segments to define the trade promotions as well. I believe BW info object is 0CP_SEGMENT. Similar to what I mentioned in Question 1, I donu2019t see any master data being updated for 0CP_SEGMENT. Am I looking at a wrong BW object or missing some key settings?
4. Where is the relationship between a Product Segment and the associated products stored/updated in BW? How do I create a trade promotion using a product segment and make the BPS planning layout populate individual products in the lead column?
Thank you for your help

Hi Anna,
After reading your post, what i understand is that there is no existing relationship present in CRM system between the Org BP and the contact person BP.
As per my Knowledge in order to create a Target group with Contact Persons you should have an active relationship persent in the CRM system bewteen the BP and the Contact person.Now as your sceanrio suggests that the Contact person's are present in the BW system but not in CRM, i would assume that the relationship also exsits in the BW . So if it does then your BW team should be able to help you in creating the necessary infocube with there analytical tools and you can then use there cube as the datasource and create the necessary Target Group with Contact persons.
Comming to the second part of your question, your guess is absolutely right but to give you more detailed infomation , the BP ID is converted in a unique GUID and this is passed into the program to retrive the necessary information from the BP after the campaign is executed.
Hope this helps!!

Naveen

Short dump when opening the segment builder

After the upgrade from CRM 4.0 to 2007, we are no longer able to open the Segment Builder. We always get a short dump (Message_type_X). Anyone encountered this problem before and has a solution?
Thanx in advance!

Hi,
though it is true that in CRM 2007 the GUI transactions should not be used anymore I am able to start the segment builder directly via transactioin CRMD_MKTSEG. It is working without a shortdump.
For documentation I suppose you have to refer to SAP: Help or the documentation available under service.sap.com. The blog posted here might be an alternative as well.

Synchronization of Target Group with BW

Hi,
In SAP Library, it is mentioned that "To keep target group information in the BW System up-to-date, CRM and BW must be synchronized. You activate this synchronization by choosing the Synchronization with BW indicator from the properties of the target group. "
The link is : http://help.sap.com/saphelp_crm50/helpdata/en/2b/59dc46c50911d3b29b0050da3ee986/frameset.htm
When I open the Target Group Properties in Segment Builder, there is no field for setting this indicator.
Can someone please help.

XSLT transformation error when importing target group in CRM Survey cockpit

Hi,
I created a target group using the segment builder and exported that to a local file. Then when creating a survey using CRM survey cockpit (tcode: SURVEY) and trying to import the same target group from the local file; I get an error :
"Error when applying a XSLT transformation"
System Response
Data transformation cannot be executed. Application functions that depend on the transformation cannot be executed
I tried various file formats : RTF, TXT, XLS, HTML but still I get the same error. Export to XML option is neither available while exporting from segment builder nor while importing into Survey cockpit. The target group is not empty.
Are there any settings to be maintained to resolve the error ?????
Dhaval.

Hi Suhel,
Thanks for the response... as far as my understanding goes, the crm survey suite can be used for maintaining questoinnaires that are transaction specific. also the functionality of question tables and rows is not available in the survey suite but is available in the survey cockpit (tcode: SURVEY).
However the same does not allow me to refer to the target groups created using the segment builder.... Is there a way I can use the target group created through the segment builder in the survey cockpit ????

How to create a target group with all prospects?

Hi guys,
I am wondering how do I have to set up my data source when I would like to build a target group in my segment builder which includes all persons/contacts/organizations with the bp role prospect?
Which infoset do I need to choose in my data source? What do I need to fill under details?
Thanks a lot for your help.
Best regards,
Janine

Hi Janine,
What I could understand is that you require to create target group of all BPs having BP role as prospects.
To do so, you can create an infoset joning tables BUT000 and BUT100. The table BUT100 , has a field "BP Role"->select it, so that it is available when you are creating the attribute list using this infoset.
Create a data soucre for this infoset. Then when creating a attribute list, include this datasource and under this select the attribute "BP Role". Add filter to this attribute for prospects.
This filter can be used in segmentation builder in UI to create TG containing BPs having BP role as prospect.
Hopes this helps you.
Thanks,

Rule-based reducing of target groups

Hi,
When you use the reduction rule; 'percentage-based, first entries' on a target group in the Segment Builder, what will 'first entries' mean? First, I thought that it depend on the layout sorting, but now I am unsure. Can anybody help me??
Thanks,
Camilla

Hi again!
It works the way I thought for percentage-based. It gives me the first entries in the list in Segment Builder. However,there seem to be some bug with the rule; Absolute, first entries. I working in CRM 3.1, have anybody heard about this issue? Is there an available note?

Target groups in Marketing....Urgent

Hi,
I have created a Profile set and Target groups in the profile set. i have executed the campaign for that.
My Question, is can i add the target group created earlier to the another profile set, if so How?
I am in urgent need of documentation of the same.
Regards
Yaswanth.k

Please read carefully the rules regarding target groups in CRM Segment Builder:
-A target group can exist without reference to a profile. If so, it must however reference a profile set ("lies in profile set..") or as a subset, if present ("is attached to profile set ...").
-If a target group is created with the profile set reference "is attached to" (that is, to a subset), it will have the status "active"; and any available target groups of the profile of the subset will be set to "inactive".
-A target group with profile reference always has a set reference ("lies in profile set ..").
-A target group with profile reference cannot be attached directly to a profile set.
Within a profile set, a target group without profile reference is represented by an icon indicating a single target group.
-You cannot move target groups from one profile set to another, however you can copy existing target groups.
The documentation is available here:
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_crm50/helpdata/en/b6/ef0b3bcbe24b74e10000000a114084/frameset.htm
If by "add target group to another profile set" you mean to say "COPY target group to another profile set", then yes it is possible to do it.
As for the "how" ... please read the help again:
To copy a marketing segment, select the required segment in the staging area of the Segment Builder and choose either the Copy pushbutton or choose Copy Segments from the context menu. If no individual segments are selected, the entire profile set is copied.
You can choose whether the copied segments are created in a new profile set, an existing profile set, an existing subset, or in a new subset of an existing profile set.

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.

Marketing Attributes and Segment Builder performance

Hello!
Could you pls let me know
1. Maximum number of Marketing attributes one can create at -
 CRMD_PROF_CHAR - Maintain Attributes
2. What is the maximum number of BP's that can be taken into segment builder
 for Target Group creation without Segment Builder performance suffering
Thanks & Regards,
Raju

The solution for the problem is as follows,
When you upgrade to JRE 1.6 version 19 patch 4, in the graphical modeler, the filter drag and drop doesnot work. In this case, add the following line in you JAVA POLICY file.
 permission java.awt.AWTPermission "accessClipboard","read,write";
 you can find the POLICY file in the path:
 C:\Program Files\Java\<JAVA VERSION>\lib\security
Please note that I found this in note 1359890

Changing archived status for target group or segmentation model.

Hello, CRMies!
In SAP CRm WEBUI i set "To archive" flag for segmentation model and now it has status "Archived". The problem is hat it became inactive now and i can't reset this status. I didn't execute any archiving reports, just set the flag on. I was looking for any FM or reports to recover the status.
Anybody knows how to unarchive segmentation model or TG?

Hi Katya,
as far I know the segmentation model is archived with the next scheduled archive run once the status 'to be archived' is set. The status can be undone before the archive run, once this is archived there is no way other then generating the segment again.
Please refer to the online help about further information:
Archiving Segmentation Elements - SAP Library
For target groups andproduct segments there is also a read program in transaction SARA, which you can use to display the archived segmentation elements again at a later point in time, if required.
Furthermore, the information structure SAP_CRM_MKTTG_I is available for target groups and product segments in the transaction SARA.
You can not only read, but can also load archived segmentation models into the system. However, you should only use this function when it is absolutely necessary. For further information, see Reloading Archive.
Since you cannot load target groups or product segments into the system, you need to generate these again to be able to use them.
I hope this helps.
best regards,
Johannes
