Creating a target group based on the BP email address only in CRM

Hi there,
I am currently trying to create a target group based on the business partner email address only.
I have a list of over 1000 email addresses - these email addresses equate to a BP in our CRM system, however I do not have a list of the equivalent business partner numbers, all I have to work on are the email addresses. With these 1000 BP email addresses I need to update the marketing attributes of each of these 1000 BP records in CRM.
What I need is a method to find the 1000 BP numbers based on the email addresses and then use the marketing expert tool (tx. CRMD_MKT_TOOLS) to change the marketing attributes on all of the 1000 BPs.
The issue I am having is how can I find the list of BP numbers just based on the BP email address, I tried creating an infoset based on table BUT000, BUT020 and ADR6 but I after creating attribute list & data source for this I am stuck on what to do next. In the attribute list the selection criteria does not allow me to import a file for the selection range. I can only enter a value but I have 1000 email addresses and cannot possibly email them manually in the filter for the attribute list.   I also looked at imported a file into the target group but I do not have any BP numbers so this will not work.
Does anyone know a method where I can create a target group based on the email addresses only without having to do any code?
Any help would be most appreciated.
Kind regard
JoJo

Creating the Target group

Hi ,
i would like to create the target group in segment builder.i got the list of business partners.how to create the target group using this list(excel sheet)
your help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
kenny

In CRM4, Segment Builder (CRMD_MKTSEG)
Create New Profile Set
Right click in main window area and select Create Target Group
Right click on New Target Group, select Properties
Click on the Load File and Create New Target Group tab
Follow directions there:
The file must contain a column with BP number or BP GUID.
The file must be an ASCII file (e.g. *.txt or *.csv).
The first line of the file must contain the column heading.
The columns must be separted with ; or ,
The new target group receives inactive status.
BP Column
Action          1 Add Business Partner to Target

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.

How is the tax code determined while creating a new PO?

Hello,
how is the tax code determined while creating a new PO?

HI,
Tax code refers to a TAXINN /TAX INJ and it always at country level -where the business dealing happens and not dependent on any other factors like vendor or material, company code or plant. etc.
So after you have maintained a Tax code in FTXP in the category as input Tax( V) it would be appears in the Tab Invoice.
where you could manually select the same
For automatic determination as said in the top messages we can maintain an inforecord.
hope so it helps

How to specify the target name while deploying a code in OSB-- Plz Help

Hi all,
Am working in creating a cluster environment. For my testing i created a new managed server(OSB_Server) in 9001 port in the admin console itself and that server started running. The default managed server(Admin_Server) is in 7001 port. So when i deploy a code in 7001 sb console the WSDL gets exposed in 7001 because the default admin server port is 7001. While deploying a code in service bus admin console we are not specifying the target name. So how to specify the target name while deploying the code in service bus admin console. Plz help me.
Regards
Prabhu

Hi Prabhu,
There are three kind of server architecture possible for OSB -
1. Single server - Everything gets deployed on Admin server itself
2. Admin Server + Single Managed Server for OSB -- OSB configuration gets deployed on OSB managed server. OSB resources (proxy service, WSDL, Schema) will remain available on OSB managed server port only and NOT on admin server port
3. Admin Server + OSB cluster -- OSB configuration gets deployed on OSB cluster. OSB resources (proxy service, WSDL, Schema) will remain available on OSB Cluster port(s) only and NOT on admin server port
Converting one type of server architecture to any other type, requires a manual tedious process, so it is suggested that you create domain accordingly i.e. if you need clusters then while creating domain itself, create OSB cluster, so that all OSB applications gets deployed to OSB cluster. I will suggest you to create a clustered domain from scratch and import the configuration from your existing domian to this new clustered domain.

How to define the "target group" in STMS?

Experts:
We have a ECC landscapes with many clients on DEV and QAS.
The previous basis admin created 2 target groups at STMS.
The first TARGET GROUP has both DEV and QAS clients as the target systems in its definition.
The second TARGET GROUP has only the QAS clients as the target systems--so many QAS clients show up in both Target GROUPS.
Could you help explain why we need the second TARGET GROUP since all target systems in the second TARGET GROUP already show up in the first TARGET GROUP.
Thanks a lot!

The second TARGET GROUP that has only the QAS clients can be used where a transport only needs to be send to QA systems/clients and not to Dev clients.
An example would be client independent objects, you don't need to move them to rest of the Dev clients but need to be moved to QA.
Hope this helps
Thanks,
Naveed

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,
Apoorv

Changing default Target Group when creating transports.

Hi All,
We have 4 different target groups for the transports created in development systems. I would like to make one transport group default which is mainly used by majority of consultants.
How to make one transport group default during creation of transport.
Regards,
Krishna

And to just make it more clear :
and here is the SAP help on the subject:
Transport Layer in ABAP Workbench
The Change and Transport System supports the distribution of development work on large projects across multiple SAP Systems.
The packages in each development system are grouped into one transport layer.
The transport layer determines whether objects are assigned to a local or transportable change request.
Use
Each of your SAP development systems is assigned a transport layer as its standard transport layer. If you use Extended Transport Control, you can assign different standard transport layers to certain clients.
You can define at the most one consolidation target for each SAP System and transport layer.
When you create a package, it is assigned the standard transport layer of the SAP System.
If you want to assign a different transport layer to a package, you require the administration authorization for the Change and Transport System.
The objects in a package automatically have the transport attributes defined for the corresponding transport layer.
If a consolidation route originating in their SAP System is defined, then the objects are assigned to a transportable request, and transported into the consolidation target when it is released.
If a consolidation route is not defined, the objects are assigned to a local request, and are not transported.
Customizing settings are not assigned to a package. They have the transport attributes of the standard transport layer of the system or client.
It is best to assign a package a standard transport layer for which a consolidation route originating in the development system is defined.
To display and maintain the transport layers and routes, use the Transport Management System (transaction STMS).
Only the system adminstrator can make changes.
Caution:
The tables TSYST, DEVL, TWSYS, TASYS are no longer productive as of Release 4.0A and cannot be maintained.

Menelaos

How to use a pwa group in CREATE A TASK PROCESS in SPD 2013 for project server workflow approval process

I am working on a Project Server 2013 workflow. I am creating this using Sharepoint Designer 2013. In this workflow I am using approval process at one stage. I have created a security group SalesManagers in PWA. I want to use this group for workflow approval
process. I want all users of this group get approval tasks.
For this I used START A TASK PROCESS activity in the SP Designer. I clicked on
this user and created task process. But here I could not find SalesManager group which I created in PWA. I was only able to find the users. I can also see
Administrators for PWA . But couldnot find SalesManager or any other security group created in pwa.
Can anyone suggest how I can get the security group created in pwa.

NBDevelopment,
I believe SPD only recognizes the SharePoint Groups and not the project server security groups.
The Administrators for PWA, and few other groups like Project Managers for PWA etc., are synced SharePoint Groups with the security groups, which is why they show up in SPD.
You could create a SharePoint Group for the Sales Managers group and use that in SPD.
