Group Hierarchies: BI EE and BI Publisher

Hi,
I'm not quite sure if I should ask this question in this forum or in the BI Publisher Forum, but I decided to use this one :-)
My problem is the following:
In my BI EE repository I have the group XMLP_ADMIN and a user "Test1" who belongs to this group. When this user logs in to BI Publisher he has admin rights. So far everything works normal.
But when I create some hierarchies in my groups like: User "Test1" belongs to "Group1" and this "Group1" belongs to the XMLP_ADMIN group, then after a login to BI Publisher the User is no longer an XMLP admin.
Does anyone know this behavior? And is this working as intended or is it maybe a bug?
Regards
Michael

I am having a very similar problem (in Answers/Dashboards though - not BI Pub)
I am setting Privileges for our groups (e.g. Some get access to Answers, some get access to Admin, etc) and there are a large number of groups which could share the same Privileges.
I created a group in the "Manage Groups and Users" screen titled "Access_Answers_Privs" and allocated the sub-groups "Monthly_Finance" and "Daily_Finance" to this group, as Members.
"Access_Answers_Privs" was then allocated to a number of Privileges. However, when I log in as a member of either "Monthly_Finance" or "Daily_Finance", they do not inherit the access of their parent group.
When I allocate the Monthly_Finance/Daily_Finance groups directly to the Privilege, they gain the appropriate access.
Any ideas? This is a big issue for me!
Cheers,
A.

SAP Netweaver Portal - Folder structure and report publishing strategy

Hi gurus,
I'm working on a project in which we are publishing BW reports in SAP Netweaver Portal (prior to this, we were using SAP Bex Browser) organizing it by Department (workset, 2nd lvl of navigation), Business Processes (workset, 3rd lvl of navigation) and "iview types" (transactions, queries, dashboards and so on). On 1st level we have a workset simply called "Reports".
For each PFCG role we have on BW (ABAP Server), we created a portal role and defined which of the higher navigation tiers is visible to users (delta-linking the top level navigation worksets to the portal role and setting visible accordingly) and then we assigned Portal roles to the appropriated Group (PFCG role) so all users that have access to certain PFCG role can have access to the corresponding Portal role.
For example:
In BW (ABAP) we have a PFCG Role: Sales PMR Analysis - Administrator, which grants access to Sales Infoproviders, queries and data for PMR analysis. The user that have access to it, should be able to see:
|Reports|
|Sales Administration|
v PMR Analysis
> Web Queries
> Transactions
> Dashboards
> Workbooks
In Portal we create a workset that has: "Reports" and under it, all Departments (Sales Administration, Financial, Services, Human Resources and so on) set as "not visible". We create a Portal role called PMR Analysis and add the Report/Departments workset, set Sales Administration as visible and add worksets/folders named PMR Analysis, Web queries, Transactions, etc, and all the corresponding iviews under it.
If we assign this new Portal role to the Group of the corresponding PFCG role, the user will see exactly as the example from above.
Pros: The users have a clean view of the reports he/she has access.
Cons: The users doesn't have a clear view of what is available in BW so he can request access. There might be some useful report lost in on of the hundreds of BW roles that he doesn't know it exist.
One of the options would be to grant visibility to ALL departments, business processes and iviews in Portal and let PFCG security roles control user access, but that might be confusing to have an overwhelming amount of links, making it hard to find what the user needs, specially during first access. Not to mention possible security breaches.
So, I'd like to know how other consultants are defining this kind of folder structure and report publishing strategy in Portal. Ideally we would like to be able to have:
- Visibility of all existant reports even those that the user does not have acess (so he can learn that it exist and request access)
- Clean view of reports, segmented by department and business processes.
- Possibility to search for reports, even for those that the user does not have access.
I'd appreciate if you guys can share your experience on this.
Thanks in advance.

Cons: The users doesn't have a clear view of what is available in BW so he can request access. There might be some useful report lost in on of the hundreds of BW roles that he doesn't know it exist
This is not a refutation: your BW developers/consultants should be able to write reports, which points you in case of insufficent backend rights. EP is not designed to be familiar with ABAP security concept and cant take any influence at it.

Yes, bad idea.
- Visibility of all existant reports even those that the user does not have acess (so he can learn that it exist and request access)
As you already wrote on your own, this would be not good
- Clean view of reports, segmented by department and business processes.
- Possibility to search for reports, even for those that the user does not have access.
This is not covered by SAP, if you wanna provide that, develop it on your own.

Issue when 2 consolidation group hierarchies used in one single query

Dear experts,
I have an issue.
I need to build a query where we compare our forecast data (figures for year end 12.2009) to our plan 2010 data.
The problem is that we changed (in our consolidation system SEM BCS) our consolidation group hierarchy for next year only , (for the plan : the change has been done from march 2010 on the version P1 used for the plan)
Ex :
In forecast the structure is as below :
We have a zone France/Spain/Portugal that includes :
1. the business unit France 1 and the business unit includes the french company AFrench company Bfrench company C
2. the business unit France 2 with french companies D, E.
3. the business Unit Spain : with spanish company A, B C etc.
4.The business Unit Portugal : with portuguese company A, B, C etc.
Our Plan conso group hierarch is as below :
We have a zone FRANCE (France/Spain/Portugal does not exit anymore) that includes :
1. the Business unit France 1 with french Companies A, B and C
2. the BU France 2 with french companies D, E
In my query i want to compare a business unit profit and Loss Forecast Versus Plan.
If i select as a consolidation group, exemple the business unit France 1 (which no longer has the same Zone above but still exists in the hierarchy), I have the following error message :
"BW server error
Exception condition : "HIERARCHY NOT FOUND" raised."
My consolidation group characteristic is set up in both columns (forecast and Plan) with a hierarchy node variable based on the right hierarchy version and the right hierarchy key date, that is why i am now lost...
I have a doubt regarding the feasability of such query...
Many thanks in advance!!
Armelle

Thanks very much for your quick answer Naveen.
Actually i saw with our technical team yesterday that we may have an issue when creating a new conso group hierarchy
SAP note 957506
This problem is caused by program error in the CL_RRHI_INCL_CREATOR_TID class.
The error can occur if a hierarchy contains new characteristic values and if additional hierarchies for the characteristic are activated simultaneously.
We may need a support package to solve this.
As you said, both hierarchies are based on the same characteristic.
I understand that we need pro forma presentation to compare our figures.
But we always ask for Business units level figures, and the BUs level did not change, only the zones level.
Anyway i am blocked for the moment, since nothing can work with this program error (even all my old queries for which the consolidation group is mandatory).
I leave my question opened and will let you know if everything worked (or not) as I had expected.

.mac and iPhoto Publishing

Recently I subscribed a .mac trial account because I wanted to try iWeb and iPhoto 6 Photocasting.
When I publish a webpage from iWeb to .Mac, it'll pop up the login window, asking me to login. I clicked the login button and i typed my .mac account information. I tried to publish again and the same thing happens (.Mac account said my password is valid)
When I select an album and share by photocasting in iPhoto, it says I haven't set up my account (again, I input info. in my .mac settings already).
What's going on? Trial account won't work with iLife?
But I can use my iDisk... that's so weird...
What's wrong?
GummyDancer
(I posted this in both iWeb, iPhoto and .Mac sections. Posted on .Mac section about 2 weeks ago)

This may not be the right way to do it but I have a solution that works for me. I've had a little trouble trying to describe it; but the essential aspect is that the 2 calendars are actually calendar groups which have sub-calendars which are unique to them and there is one calendar which is 'shared' between them. To publish them I drag the shared calendar to the calendar group that I want to publish, click the button and when it's finished I drag it to the other one and then publish that. This enables both calendars to appear with the shared info without the need for double entries.

Problems with reports and XML-publisher - No XML

Hi!
I'm having a problem with Apps and XML-publisher. I made a report file, which queries some views. When executing in reports, I get all the data I expect.
Now, when I upload the reportfile to Apps and let it generate XML, my xml-file is empty (well, almost empty)
<?xml version="1.0" ?>

<T03501684>
<LIST_G_PERSOON>
<LIST_G_PERSOON />
</T03501684>
Anyone who can shed any light upon this problem?

OK, finally solved the problem... A good night's sleep always helps ;).
After just trying each queried table one after an other, I found the problem:
The difference between Oracle Apps (Dutch locale) and the reports builder (English) is the language... And our functional people have changed some names, but the Dutch ones, leaving the english names in place and one of the tables I query has language specific data, which is also appears in a where clause.

Difference between field staus group for posting key and GL account

Hi all,
can anyone tell me what is the difference of usage for field status group in posting key and GL account as i notice the fileds are the same. during data entry, system will check both field status or how?
thanks.

Hi
Both are to control the field status of the line item.
But, the FSG of the Posting Key and the GL FSG status should not clash like below.
Take 'Assignment' field as example :
Posting key FS - Suppress & GL FS - Required - will give you error message at the time of posting
Posting key FS - Required & GL FS - Suppress - will give you error message at the time of posting
Otherthan the above, all other combination works

The problem is when we create and then publish to ibooks review it can not be shown completely. How can I solve this problem?

If you are saying, that you published the book to the iBooks review team and cannot be seem in the store.
Use your iTunes Connect account > Manage your Books to check on its status. It takes time so you need to allow a few days.
If its a problems viewing on your iPad Follow the above advice and another option is is export your book, open iBooks on your Mac and drag the book into iBooks.
You can iTunes > add to libray and sync to your iPad.

How to disable 'Save' button when OAF and XML Publisher integrated...URGENT

Hi,
I am new to the OA Framework and XML publisher. I have been working on a requirement where I am designing a new page in Manager Self Service with few fields and a submit button. Also designed a RTF template in XML publisher to display the output in PDF format.
When the details are entered on the page and click on 'Submit' button, the PDF will Open with the data populated. This is working perfectly... thanks to the forum.
But my issue is: When the submit button is clicked, it displayes a dialog box with Open/Save/Cancel options and if I click the 'Open', the PDF will be opened. But my client is a retail client and they don't want store managers to save this PDF so either I have to skip this dialog box and directly open the PDF or I have to disable the 'Save' on the dialog box.
Gurus -- Please help me how to achieve this. This is very urgent
Below is the piece of code I am using in the controller to generate the PDF.
TemplateHelper.processTemplate(
((OADBTransactionImpl)pageContext.getApplicationModule(webBean).getOADBTransaction()).getAppsContext(),
APP_NAME,
TEMPLATE_CODE,
((OADBTransactionImpl)pageContext.getApplicationModule(webBean).getOADBTransaction()).getUserLocale().getLanguage(),
((OADBTransactionImpl)pageContext.getApplicationModule(webBean).getOADBTransaction()).getUserLocale().getCountry(),
inputStream,
TemplateHelper.OUTPUT_TYPE_PDF,
null,
pdfFile);
Thanks in Advance,
Naren

Frank, thanks for the update.
But do you want me to try ControllerContext.getInstance().getCurrentViewPort().isDataDirty(); in button disable property?
I have written one method in my am like
public boolean isTransactionDirty(){
return getDBTransaction.isDity();
and exposed that method to client side and i try to use this method in my button disable property as
disable#{bindings.isTransactionDirty.execute} but this is not working.
Thanks

How to sync Outlook 2010 Contact Groups to my iPad and iPhone

I am trying to figure out how to sync my Outlook 2010 contact groups to my iPad and iPhone. Also how do you manage the groups once on the device? Seems they can only be selected and not edited. I can get my Good contact group and my Windows Contacts contact group to sync but not my Outlook 2010 groups. Any ideas?

Mac solution. No idea if works on PC:
Work Around:
On your mac:
1. Open a new email
2. Insert name of an existing group into one of the "To" fields as usual.
3. Highlight all the resulting names in the "To" entry
     [Highlight first name, and while holding shift, highlight last name and all will highlight[]
4. Copy (Command C) the highlighted emails
5. Paste (Command V) nto a pages document
6. Remove the name and anything else preceeding the first < and also the first < of only the first entry whixh will look like this:
     [email protected]>,
7. Remove the > of the last email which will look like this:
     , Jane Doe <[email protected]
8. Copy the entire altered list from the pages document
9, Go to Contact Book and click + to add a new entry
10.. Name the entry (XXX Group for iPad) or whatever you wish to call it
11. Paste all the copied altered list into any one of the email entry spaces
12. Click on "Done"
13. Create new email On iPad and click on + in any one of the "To" lines and search for "XXX Group for iPad" You cannot just key in XXX Group for iPad!!!!!!!, you must use + contact search.
14. Enter the selected iPad contact group into the "To" line.
15. All the entries will now appear in the "To" line and you are good to go.
Adding or deleting email addresses from the iPad group:
Easiest: Alter the original mac group in the usual way and repeat steps 1-14 above. It seems impossible to edit within the emai line of the iPad contact entry.
Rediculously simple once figured out.
Happy emailling, but please send Bcc so that you don't spread your groups' email addresses all over the internet for spam, viruses, and other unwanted emails. Be considerate and ask your recipients to notifiy you if they wish to be deleted from the lists you compose.

BIEE and BI Publisher standalone

Hi,
I am new to BI, I went through OBE for BIEE and BI Publisher. I have installed BIEE (and BI publisher desktop) successfully, when I launch BI Publisher shipped with BIEE, I dont get admin tab and thus account tab in preferences. Moreover, no option to create new report etc however, I can work in Dashboard and Answers. Then I installed BI Publisher standalone, I performed this installation twice, once it was installed at 9704 port (when OC4J of BIEE was stopped) and next time at 9705 port (when OC4J service was running). With this new installation I got admin tab and was able to create report and word template etc. But with that installation I was unable to proceed with section "Creating BI Publisher Reports Based on Various Data Sources" of BI getting started OBE : http://www.oracle.com/technology/obe/obe_bi/bipub/intro/gettingstarted.htm as MS word can either connect to 9705 BI installation only. Can any one please guide me what I am missing and that should BIEE and BI Publisher standalone be installed on same PC or not, or, what else I need to do to complete that OBE.
NOTE: I have done all installation on VMWare, I hope it has nothing to do with the problem I am facing.
Thanks in Advance and Best Regards,
Qamar

There are several reasons as to why you can have the BIP Admin tab missing in your installation. This issue is very well covered in the forum so I suggest you use the forum search and read them all.

How do I Add groups to my contacts and delete a contact once it's in the group

How do I Add groups to my contacts and delete a contact once it's in the group

Hello mstern613
The way the organization works is that it will have an all contacts and then your grouped contacts. You would not be able to just have the grouped contacts with out it being in all contacts. You can organize them on your iPhone by following the steps in the iPhone User Guide.
