Extending user information entries?

Hi there!
Is it possible to extend the user information (such as E-Mail address or Telephone) with "arbitrary" data (e.g. Age / Date of Birth)?
The entries "Position" and "Department" of "Additional Information" make it seem possible to me, I haven't found anything so far, though...
Thanks in advance!
Dennis

Hi Dennis,
yes it is.
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/a3/d2ffd64602c149949ca3cf379dc295/content.htm
These additional attributes are stored in the database.
If you only want to display addtional iViews that are stored in your corporate ldap, the configuration would be different.

Displaying User information

Hi!
When i use any iview to display user information, i get in the user name fiel de id user instead of the user name.
It is the same for all the place where the portal use the user infomation display (CLP, search user, roles search, etc).
Is anybody knows how to change this?
I thank you in advance.

Customizing Users' Display Name
Use
A users display name is the friendly name that is displayed for a user in most user interfaces, for example in list of results when you search for a user in the UME administration console. Programmatically, it is the name that is returned by the method IUser.getDisplayName().
By default the display name is the users last name followed by the first name. It is possible to customize it, to display a different friendly name, for example the users salutation followed by first name and then last name.
Procedure
The name returned by the method IUser.getDisplayName() is calculated by the user attributes specified in the user management property ume.users.displayname_template.
The default value is ume.users.displayname_template=,
To change the display name, change the value of this property. It can be a combination of:
u00B7 User attributes: The available user attributes are: , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , ,
u00B7 Characters: Most characters whose unicode lies between \u0020 and \u007E can be written as they are. These are characters such as A-Z, a-z, commas, semicolons, and so on.
u00B7 Unicode characters: Characters whose unicode does not lie between \u0020 and \u007E, must be written in the form \uXXXX
Example
You change the value to:
ume.users.displayname_template=
For a user whose first name is Peter, second name is Miller and salutation is Mr, the display name would be Mr Peter Miller.
This display name would appear on all user interfaces that use the method IUser.getDisplayName().
attributeMapping>
If you are using an LDAP directory as a data source for your user-related data, the logical attribute names used by the Java application programming interface (API) of SAP User Management Engine (UME) must be mapped to the physical attribute names used in the schema of your corporate LDAP directory.
In the preconfigured files shipped with UME, the logical attributes of the Java user management API are mapped to the physical attributes used for the object class inetOrgPerson in the X.500 standard. If you use this standard without any modifications, you will not need to change the attribute mapping data. If you have extended this object class in your LDAP directory, or use a different object class, you can flexibly add additional attributes to the attribute mapping data or change the attribute mapping data as required. By providing you with the means to map attributes, UME allows you to use any schema that suits your companys requirements.
The following examples illustrate scenarios where you need to change the attribute mapping data:
The logical attribute for a users e-mail address used by the user management component is named email, but the physical attribute in the schema for your corporate LDAP directory is named mail. You must map email to mail in the configuration file.
In your company, you wish users to log on with their e-mail address and password instead of with their user ID and password. In a user account, the logical attribute j_user defines the logon ID. By default this attribute is mapped to the unique ID (uid) of a user. By mapping j_user to the physical attribute for the users e-mail address, for example mail, users can in future log on with their e-mail address.
For a list of the set of fixed logical attribute names used in the API, see Logical Attributes.

</dataSources>
In the above example, the section on the data source CORP_LDAP contains all the configuration data for the LDAP directory.
The section on <responsibleFor> defines which data is stored in the LDAP directory and in particular the logical attributes that are stored in the directory. For each attribute listed here, there must be an entry in the attribute mapping section.
By default the section on <attributeMapping> contains attribute mapping data for the object class inetOrgPerson in the X.500 standard. Here you can modify the physicalAttribute name (the attribute name in the LDAP directory) or you can add an additional attribute mapping for attributes outside of inetOrgPerson that you have added to your LDAP schema.
 <attribute name="firstname">
 <physicalAttribute name="givenname"/>
 </attribute>
Even if the physical and logical attribute name are identical, you should map them. For example, in the above example, displayname maps to displayname.
If an attribute is not mapped, the API will not have access to this data.
Some logical attributes are mapped to "null". This means that the API uses this logical attribute, but the logical attribute does not map to a physical attribute. Instead it maps to a computed value.
Ensure that all inetOrgPersons in your LDAP directory contain a valid value for the attribute uid. In the default configuration, this attribute is used to search for users for display in user-management applications such as the role assignment tool.
Alternatively, change the attribute mapping so that uniquename is mapped to cn instead of uid.
 <attribute name="uniquename">
 <physicalAttribute name="cn"/>
 </attribute>
In this way, cn is used to search for users for display in user-management applications.
Namespaces
Another useful feature is that you can map logical attributes to different physical attributes depending on the namespace. For example, an application in the namespace com.mycompany.app1 might use the physical attribute uid as displayname, whereas another application com.mycompany.app2might use the physical attribute sn as displayname. This would be mapped as follows:
<attributeMapping>
 <principals>
 <principal type="user">
 <nameSpaces>
 <nameSpace name="com.mycompany.app1">
 <attributes>
 <attribute name="displayname">
 <physicalAttribute name="uid"/>
 </attribute>
 </attributes>
 </nameSpace>
 <nameSpace name="com.mycompany.app2">
 <attributes>
 <attribute name="displayname">
 <physicalAttribute name="sn"/>
 </attribute>
 </attributes>
 </nameSpace>
 </nameSpaces>
 </principal>
 </principals>
</attributeMapping>
You need to meintain this property in the sapup.properties file.
Therefore in the portal you select: System Administration ->
System Configuration -> UM Cinfiguration -> Direct editing.
Then you add the property in the textfield, save and restart the
J2EE Engine in order to activate this value.
Best regards,
Patricio.

GRC-AC v5.3, patch8.1: cannot retrieve user information in CUP Request

Hello,

Hi,
As per error log, sounds space issue.
"ERROR com.sap.mw.jco.JCO$Exception: (104) RFC_ERROR_SYSTEM_FAILURE: No more storage space available for extending an internal table. com.sap.mw.jco.JCO$Exception: (104) RFC_ERROR_SYSTEM_FAILURE: No more storage space available for extending an internal table."
Check the tablespace with your Basis guy and increase it if neccessary.

Extended user rights and 500 users limits on a PDF Form

Hello,
I read that there's 500 users limits for using extended user rights on Acrobat Pro 9.
Here's my situation:
- I built an application PDF form with extended user rights for Adobe Reader users to save the form. And I'm going to be hosting it on the web for users to download the PDF form to their local hard drive.
- The form will have a button to submit to a web page with a script for processing FDF, XFDF, XML, or HTP form export.
My question is:
1. Would it be violating the 500 users limits if more than 500 users download the form and save the PDF after filling out fields, but not submit the data back to the server?
2. What would happen if more than 500 responses are received through above method? Would new visitors still be able to save the PDF form for their archive purpose after downloading it from our web site?
Thanks.

Can Adobe's licensing department define "extract"? I know there is a lot of confusion here and I'm trying to understand.
Here is our scenario: We have developed an Adobe fillable form which we will be sending to 1000 customers. Customers can open the form (in Reader v9.5 and greater) and fill out the form, validate it and then print it. The customers are not sending the PDF files back to us and the PDF data is not being collected so there is no data we can extract from Adobe files (we are not that advanced yet). Customers will just print the information, then fax or send back to us by U.S. Mail.
When we receive the completed information (via fax/mail, not PDF), we read information off our form. Does Adobe consider reading our information “extracting” with our eyes? I’m not sure how they can consider that extracting? I would think Adobe owns the mechanism (aka PDF file) for validating our content, but they wouldn’t own the content on our form if we want to physically read it, right?
Adobe needs to clarify this more clearly and I’ve ready their interpretation of the Policy, but it doesn’t address this scenario. http://www.adobe.com/products/eulas/pdfs/Reader_Extension_Policy_A10-5-31-2011.pdf
George, I don't think you are an Adobe Employee. I see you are a MVP, but you are not officiall speaking for Adobe are you?
---Thanks.

Printing user's entry.

Hi guys
I am trying to print the user's entry from a JTextField. But when I pass it to the print method, all i get is a NULL value. Can anyone point me my mistake ? I'd appreciate it :)
private void btnPrintActionPerformed(java.awt.event.ActionEvent evt) {
        entry = txtEntry.getText().trim();
        // Get the rep of the current printer & print job
        PrinterJob printerJob = PrinterJob.getPrinterJob();
        // Build a book containing pair of page painters (Printables)
        // and PageFormats. This example has a single page.
        Book book = new Book();
        book.append(new Printing(), new PageFormat());
        // Set the obj to be printed (book) into PrinterJob.
        printerJob.setPageable(book);
        // Show print dialog to user.
        boolean doPrint = printerJob.printDialog();
        if (doPrint)
            try
                printerJob.print();
            catch (PrinterException e)
                JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null, "Unable to print + Error : "

Unable to edit user information from User Admin applet

Hi
I'm unable to update user information from user admin applet. After selecting a particular user, i'm updating his full name and trying to save the details. When i click on save i'm getting below error
"Unable to execute service EDIT_USER and function addUserAttributes",(System Error: Unable to execute query 'uUsersClassifiedMarkings(UPDATE Users SET uClassifiedMarkings='No Markings'WHERE(uClassifiedMarkings is null OR uClassifiedMarkings="))'.ORA-00904:"UCLASSIFIEDMARKINGS":invalid Identifier java.sql.SQLSyntaxException: ORA-00904:"UCLASSIFIEDMARKINGS": invalid identifier)
Kindly let know what is issue or how to resolve this error

Ok,lets give it a shot. Can you please check if you have any Security Classifications added by navigating to Records->Configure->Security->Security Classification
If you do not see any entries here, then use the Add button to add the following
- No Markings
- Secret
- Top Secret
- Confidential
Now try to update the user info using the admin applet. In the edit window assign Security Classification to "No Markings" and try submitting the update. Let us know what is the outcome.
I completely agree with William on his analysis. Please try these steps if you are working on a Dev/POC instance.

Saving/fetching extended user attribute

I recently got rid of all of my global.* attribute references because both in experience and in quite a lot of stated opinions here in the forum, it was the right thing to do.
Everything is working great except my sole extended user attribute, which is basically an employee ID. It has a good IDMAttributeConfiguration and IDMObjectClassAttributeConfiguration defined in IDMSchemaConfiguration. In my active sync form I set accounts[Lighthouse].myAttributeName, and in the field directly after it I trace the value out to catalina.out so I can see that it's all good.
But when I bring up the user in a view user form, myAttributeName is nowhere to be found as I look through all of the local variables via the debugger. In particular, none of these exist:
accounts[Lighthouse].myAttributeName
waveset.attributes.myAttributeName
waveset.myAttributeName
global.myAttributeName
I'm running 8.0.0.4 (I'd like to get this last bit to production before I upgrade to 8.1.x). I've triple-checked to make sure there aren't typos.
What am I forgetting? I feel like it must be something pretty basic...
Thanks in advance, -Les

I believe accounts[Lighthouse].myAttributeName should do what you want, but be sure you don't have any "global" references at all.
If you've got even one global reference it would trigger the global propagation mechanism that could mess you up.Paul,The default tabbed user form pulls in IdentityContent from User Library, which uses "global" references for firstname, lastname, fullname, email, idmManager. Do you use the default IdentityContent, or you do replace the name fields with accounts[Lighthouse] references? When you update firstname (say) in activesync, do you refer to it in the global or accounts[Lighthouse] namespace?
I discovered something else unexpected that feels related. In my IDM schema configuration, I had correctly formatted IDMAttributeConfiguration and IDMObjectClassAttributeConfiguration entries for my attribute, but I had inserted them alphabetically in the configurations. My attribute name begins with a "c", and it came at the top of the lists as presented in the XML source. In that state, my attribute was no longer listed in the Identity Manager Attributes in the Rule Argument pull down list when assigning a conditionally contained role. But when I moved the IDMAttributeConfiguration and IDMObjectClassAttributeConfiguration entries for my attribute to follow the entries for lastname (and restarted the app server), then my attribute became listed in the pulldown! How odd.
I have reset my equivalent of IdentityContent to use "global" instead of "accounts[Lighthouse]" and have fixed most of the issues except for an odd race condition in activeSync. I did that before I made the schema configuration changes above, though, so more testing is required. I'll write back if I find out anything interesting.

Extending user details: Label in user Profile

Hello,
I have followed the document "How to Extend User Details" to add custom properties to user details. However, although it is possible to add labels to the user details iView (which you can access from KM), it does not seem possible to add labels for these properties on the User Profile (which you access through Personalize->User Profile).
I have checked <a href="https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/thread?forumID=42&threadID=129068&messageID=1443674">this</a> post, and the answer refers to the User Details iView, not the User Profile maintenance.
Regards,
Martin

Hello Anja,
This is a nice surprise (I remember you from your visit here to SA Breweries).
The labels display fine in the User Details iView, but in Personalise -> User Profile, only the field names show up, the way they have been defined, e.g. expertarea, as opposed to "Expert Area", just as in the screenshots in the How-To Guide. The entries save without a problem.
In other words, the field labels show up just as you defined them in UM Configuration, but you have no ability to change them to proper descriptive texts (as you would with KM property labels).
Regards,
Martin

Getting Logged on User'Information in an Oracle-Form SSO Partner Application

Hi.
I could run Flight-of Fancy Application and capture user's information by calling the

and defined an Oracle-Form application as Partner application like FOF.
I want to have Logged on user'Information in the "Oracle-Form" . But the Fucntion owa_cookie.get dosen't work correctly.please let me know what can I do ?

Thanks in advanced. If you're writing your own partner application, then you are correct to get the user information from the output variables
from the parse_url_cookie procedure. You should then set the information you want to keep track of in the cookie, or combination
of cookie and persistent storage in the database. Take care of the security implications while doing this.
On subsequent calls to your application, the user info should be obtained from the cookie and the database, if you
are using a combination of the cookie and database storage to keep your info.
The owa_cookie.get routine is used to read the cookie, which is generated with owa_cookie.send.
These routines work fine, when invoked correctly.
If you are having trouble with them, you're probably not using the calls properly.
The following code provides an example of how to use the owa_cookie calls...

_http://<server><port>PlatformServices/service/app/logon.do?appKind=InfoView&service=%2FOpenDocument%2FappService.do&backContext=%2FOpenDocument&backUrl=%2Fopendoc%2FopenDocument.jsp%3FSERVICE%3D%252FOpenDocument%252FappService.do%26OBJIDS%3D20016421%26backUrl%3D%252Fcontent%252Fview.do%26PREF%3DmaxOpageUt%253D200%253BmaxOpageC%253D10%253Btz%253DUS%252FPacific%253BmUnit%253Dinch%253BshowFilters%253Dtrue%253BsmtpFrom%253Dtrue%253BpromptForUnsavedData%253Dtrue%253B%26CONTAINERID%3D6424083%26backContext%3D%252FPlatformServices%26LOC%3Den%26APPKIND%3DInfoView%26PVL%3Den%26ACTID%3D280%26service%3Dtimeout&backUrlParents=1&appName=OpenDocument&prodName=BusinessObjects+Enterprise&cmsVisible=false&cms=<servername>%3A6600&authenticationVisible=false&authType=secEnterprise&sso=false&sm=true&smAuth=secLDAP&persistCookies=true&sessionCookie=true&useLogonToken=true
The instance Id for the report is generated successfully and the staus of the report is showing as success on Business Objects server side ie. crystal server side.
And we are using OpneDocumentURL for generating the report. And the in the URL we are passing the "Instatce ID" and the "Token" which Both are generated successfully.

Hi,
This is a crystal report link which i am trying to print.
The actual URL to generate a report is,
http://servername:port/OpenDocument/opendoc/openDocument.jsp?&iDocID=22874532&token=systemname%4022874531JOLS2B40fr7cuAE522874529JVB36Yr3PswjM7IP
but it is redirected to below URL,
http://servername:port/PlatformServices/service/app/logon.do?appKind=InfoView&service=%2FOpenDocument%2FappService.do&backContext=%2FOpenDocument&backUrl=%2Fopendoc%2FopenDocument.jsp%3FPREF%3DmaxOpageUt%253D200%253BmaxOpageC%253D10%253Btz%253DUS%252FPacific%253BmUnit%253Dinch%253BshowFilters%253Dtrue%253BsmtpFrom%253Dtrue%253BpromptForUnsavedData%253Dtrue%253B%26service%3Dtimeout%26CONTAINERID%3D21700595%26backContext%3D%252FPlatformServices%26ACTID%3D279%26OBJIDS%3D22874532%26SERVICE%3D%252FOpenDocument%252FappService.do%26APPKIND%3DInfoView%26LOC%3Den%26PVL%3Den%26backUrl%3D%252Fcontent%252Fview.do&backUrlParents=1&appName=OpenDocument&prodName=BusinessObjects+Enterprise&cmsVisible=false&cms=systemname&authenticationVisible=false&authType=secEnterprise&sso=false&sm=true&smAuth=secLDAP&persistCookies=true&sessionCookie=true&useLogonToken=true

Over the years I have had many ISP and email addresses - but now we have finally gone almost fully virtual...
I have a live login and MS ID 4 my SkyDrive account but I only use my MS touch with 8.1, SkyDrive and office 365 for mobility.
And I still like to backup to my own server!!!
What would be good is if I can put all the software licenses and product keys of the software and keep a record of my mac addresses for hardware and even static IP's in a file or a secure location within the MS online store.
That's where MS wants me to get my computing needs from in future and I will always be able to retrieve it in future but what about the $$$$$ I have spent on software, hardware and applications prior to now???
I know u guys love 2 collect data 4 marketing analysis,
4 example I have an old PC that is still running a server from last century - if you knew about it a simple script would allow you to offer upgrades or at least relevant MS products - UNLIKE the rubbish adds I just turn off or tune out
now...
Why cant I add products previous online email purchases into the 1 MS live ID account where I can keep it together? If you make that available I don't have to have separate steam accounts, EA game accounts, ASUS and adobe accounts etc
etc.
What has brought me 2 this is I was looking for my office pro 2007 disks to rebuild a HOME USE ONLY windows 7 laptop (NO touch screen so 8.1 is no benefit at all)
I HAVE 4 Genuine PRODUCT KEYs for Office 2007 BUT EVERY TIME I WENT TO DOWNLOAD the software - regardless of the key I used - I got the error message: We are sorry, but we are unable to complete your request.•The Office 2007 Product Key

That's crap - This is a clean brand spanker install of Win7 and there was nothing b4 I put the oem drivers from Toshiba back on.
I looked at dozens of support pages and forum blogs and tried for hours to get a copy to download - including incognito and other logins but because my default PC name is also my MS Windows live ID the same error was repeated.
I keep away from the non MS sites for these things and with good reason - there were heaps of similar users with the same issue or very close to it that had downloaded from a supposed MS copy from eValue or digital river etc and the next
thing was total corruption of the OS.
EVENTUALLY I found a LIVE MS chat on a support site in the US and she gave me a link to a slightly older version which will need updating and some reg edit changes but so far, so good.
The point is - what a crock !
I should be able to just keep all my software, drivers, updates, service packs, and versions that I have upgraded in the MS store.
If Microsoft aren't going to support XP or Office 2003 and eventually 2007, vista & Windows7 not far behind??? then that's still no excuse for them to put these restrictions and limits when I OWN my copy of the software!!
Unlike office 365 and SkyDrive space which is described in the T&C (that we all read before ticking that radial button to agree of course) as ONLY under a leased licence.
IF Microsoft can support AND develop software that supports SQL2000 Servers, why is it so hard to archive and keep the same info for everyone???

User Information checkboxes in remote web service

They have these checkboxes there for a reason - ease of property retrieval in a remote portlet. However, I'm unable to retrieve these values w/o using the IObjectManager and IExtendedData. If I'm using the .net app accel 1.1 and my portlet page is inheriting from the ALIPortletPage class, how the heck do I easily retrieve the user's email or full name or company name or any of the checkboxed values?
Right now I achieve this like this:
IRemoteSession currSession = RemoteSessionFactory.GetTokenContext(this.RemoteAPIEndpoint, User.LoginToken);
IObjectManager objMgr = currSession.GetObjectManager(ObjectClass.User) as IObjectManager;
IExtendedData extData = objMgr.QueryExtendedData(this.User.ID) as IExtendedData;
// employee id
extData.GetValue("Employee Id").ToString();
// company
extData.GetValue("Company").ToString();
This works fine, but there must be an easier way than this if they're explicity offering checkboxes at the web service level for the most used properties. Anyone?

Are you trying to get info about a random user? or the currently logged in user?
There appears to be a transformer tag to retrieve info about the logged in user:
The userInfo tag is replaced with the value of the specified User Information setting. Note that this tag uses camel case for the tag name (userInfo).
Example:
<pt:userInfo pt:name="FullName"/>
