InstanceValueIf without a unique identifier in OPM 10.1

Hi,
I need to get an instance value from a child instance when the condition I use can have the same conclusion in few instances as there is no data I could use to make the conclusion unique.
The issue is that InstanceValueIf requires to have a condition with a unique conclusion for all instances.
E.g.:
A relationship name between entities Global and the bill is the bills (1 to Many).
the name of the selected bill = InstanceValueIf(the bills, the bill's name, the simplified name = "AAA")
The problem is that in my scenario few instances can have the simplified name as AAA. In that case OPA will return uncertain as there are few instances that satisfy the condition. I would like to pick the bill's name from any instance where the simplified name = "AAA" because if the simplified name = "AAA", the bill's name will always be either AAA1 or AAA2 for all instances where the simplified name = "AAA", e.g. the bill's name = AAA1 for all instances where the simplified name = AAA.
I was looking whether I could use alias (maybe ForScope), but from what I understand ForScope still should be able to find a unique value. Am I wrong?
Is there anything else I could use to get around the problem in OPM 10.1?
Thank you

If we take your rule above and imagine the following data...
Instance 1
the bill's name: Homer
the bill's simplified name: AAA
Instance 2
the bill's name: Marge
the bill's simplified name: AAA
... how is the function meant to know whether 'the name of the selected bill' is Homer or Marge? Or are you saying that it will always be the case that 'the bill's name' will be identical for all instances of the entity where the simplified name is AAA? And you're wondering why the InstanceValueIf still evaluates to uncertain if the values for 'the bill's name' are identical?
(Side note: All entity attributes should contain the name of the entity in the attribute text, e.g. "the bill's simplified name" rather than "the simplified name".)
Cheers,
Jasmine

Unique identifier in FBL3N

Hello,
Please could you tell me if it is possible to get a unique identifier in an FBL3N report? (I would want the unique identifier to remain unchanged for each line item if new line items are entered into SAP.)
(i.e. if staff write commentaries for each line item in an FBL3N report and then new line items are present in later FBL3N reports I want to be able to identify which line items in the new report each of our commentaries relate to).
Thanks,
Stu

Hi,
Please could you tell me whether accounting entry date is different to document date and posting date? My understanding is that the document date and posting dates can be manually set by the data entry clerk and therefore I can not guarantee that posting dates will always increase for each new line item (even then would I need to sort by time of day within each date to be sure the order of line items are in chronological order?) Is accounting entry date the date that the data is entered into SAP and not changeable by the user?
Unfortnately in this case it will be impractical to ask people to use unique text or header text fields.
If it is possible to sort by the date (and time) that data is 'physically' entered into SAP then we can be sure that any new line items will occur at the bottom of the report, irrespective of document date or posting date?
I assume an unique identifier just doesn't exist (without entering one manually)?
Many thanks,
Stewart

[CS3][JS] Uniquely identifying documents with common names - possible?

Hi!
Is there no way to refer directly to a document in app.documents when there are several documents with the same name open at the same time (located in different folders)?
I have tried to assign unique labels to the documents when opening them, but have not succeeded in referring to documents by their labels, only by name - and the name not being unique, I get just one document reference (the first).
I also tried using the documents.itemByRange function, supposedly returning an array of all documents in the range defined by the parameters sent to the function. However, sending in the same name in the "from" and "to" parameters, returned only one document:
app.documents.itemByRange('test.indd', 'test.indd').getElements().length
Result: 1
//(I would have expected to get both of them)
// Referring directly by the name:
app.documents.item('test.indd').getElements().length
Result: 1
// Checking the name of the documents by their indexes:
app.documents.item(0).name
Result: test.indd
app.documents.item(1).name
Result: test.indd
Do you really have to loop through all open documents and check their fullName to be able to uniquely identify a document if the names are not unique?
Kind regards,
Andreas Jansson

Hi Dave,
Make that three or four... ;)
Kris at Rorohiko created a method to get unique references to two
different documents with the same name. It's usable if you have the free
APID ToolAssistant version 1.0.44 or higher. (it doesn't need to be
licensed...)
Here's an excerpt from the reference manual:
The get doc GUID function is used as follows:
guid =
app.callExtension(0x90B6C,10008,document);
This function returns a GUID (Globally Unique Identifier) for a
document. This is a string of the form
{nnnnnnnn-nnnn-nnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn}
where all 'n' stand for a hexadecimal digit.
These GUID allow you to work with same-name documents that
are concurrently open without getting tangled in the confusion
that occurs when using resolve calls.
As long as a document is not moved from its original location on
disk, it will keep the same GUID. Two documents with the same
name but different paths will have different GUID.
Opening, closing, (re)saving to the same location will NOT
change the GUID.
Moving a document to another location will change the GUID.
The find open doc by GUID function is used as follows:
doc = app.callExtension(0x90B6C,10009,guid);
This function retrieves a reference to an already open document
based on its GUID string.
These GUID strings are unique and persistent and allow
persistent references to same-name documents without resolvelike
issues (but the documents are meant to be 'unmovable' i.e.
they cannot be renamed or moved to another folder). Once the
document is open, it can be retrieved via its GUID.

Extracting unique identifier for illustrator layers

Hi All,
Multiple layers in an illustrator file can have the same name. So the layer name cannot be a unique identifier for layers. Is there a way to extract a unique identifier for layers through scripting? I saw that if the 'Identify Objects by' property (inside Preferences -> Units) is set to XML ID, all layer names, even identical ones are replaced by some unique ids. Can we extract these ids via scripting without manually changing the 'Identify Objects by' property. Basically, extraction of any unique identifier for illustrator layers would serve the purpose. I am really stuck with this and need help urgently. Any help would be highly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

When I found this I noticed it changed the name of the layers in the layers pallet.
I had not had a chance to test this with code.
If "use XML ID" is turned on then you are not able to name layers the same thing.
this in turn would follow through to your script using layer.name
for existing files you would need to fix names manually or...
I am sure it would be possible to Script.
eg. export SVG file and pull the layer ID's from that and rename the document layers accordingly. (may be a little tricky for sublayers, but top level layers should be straight forward)
Then as long as "use XML ID" is left on the files would not need this run again as you cannot use duplicate layer names.

Looking for a unique identifier

Looking for a unique identifier
Hello,
I'm looking for a way of uniquely identify a mobile phone in order to check access rights to my application. The scenario is this: users download an application from my server and, eventually, request upgrades and data needed by the application to work. Each application has a unique id hard-coded which is sent back to the server with each request to check for permission.
The problem is that somebody could copy the application and use it. The server wouldn't be able to detect that two different applications are making requests with the same id. I'd need to be able to differentiate between phones. Without such a mechanism, I won't know whether an application has been legally downloaded from my server or is an illegal copy. I thought about the phone number or the IMEI code but it seems to be impossible to retrieve them.
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance

Dont know if it will help, but many operators put the MSISDN (phone number) in the header for data requests (such as a WAP connection through their gateway), this is how they customise content for you etc (as well as all the securtiy).Perhaps when your user downloads your application you could attempt to capture this info and then re-use it for their updates/config changes.

Uniquely identifying a client PC

I'm looking for ways to uniquely identify a machine running a java program, other than IP address. I'd like to be able to use this, along with IP address, to confirm from a server that a client shares not only the IP but is actually the same physical machine connecting to a server.
I am writing the client, so a solution that needs to be run on the client machine is fine. A solution that will work on both Windows and Unix machines would be greatly preferred.
Is there a way to have Java check physical information, such as MAC address? Making each copy of the client have a unique copy-identifier is not possible or practical, as I'm distributing a jar file to thousands of users, and ideally this solution should be able to transmit information that the server can compare even in the case of a complete removal and fresh installation of the client program.
MAC would probably be ideal. If determining MAC of the current machine from Java is not possible, and it doesn't seem to be, then can anyone think of any other reasonably unique identifying information accessible from Java?

Well, yes, we are concerned with accounts not currently logged on.
First, we bounce people for cheating, and we prefer, whenever possible, to dump them without also dumping their neighbours. In most cases, this is perfectly possible simply due to the fact that the users are widespread - a few thousand worldwide, and rarely more than one from a given ISP in a given city. In other cases, particularly for the German, Russian, and Brazilian players, it's much less easy to do.
Additionally, there are cases (an internet cafe in Moscow with a single proxy) where you have multiple accoutns from multiple computers connecting from one IP. It would be nice to have a little more indication that this is, in fact the case, and to be able to distinguish accounts.
Also, having multiple accounts can give you an advantage, and while most of the obvious problems are IP-restricted, being able to tell a little more conclusively if a person is using two accounts and is not, in fact, two people with two accounts would be nice.
Finally, I'd like a better way of telling the account history - if you cause a non-ban-worthy problem, then change your name, I'd really like to have a better way than IP to confirm that the new account belongs to the previous problem child. As long as accounts are free and can be signed up by anyone downloading the program, which is a feature we'd like to keep, it will be possible to just create a new account and start with a fresh record, and that's something I'm looking to be able to track a little better.

The Group Policy Client service failed the sign-in The universal unique identifier (UUID) type is not supported

Hi guys,
we created a custom WIM Image (Windows 8 Enterprise) with MDT 2012.
Sysprept the Image, Deployed via SCCM 2012 SP1.
Computers are Domainjoined. Error with standard Domain User.
On some computers (not every computer) and not with every user on the first logon following error message arises:

Can I use MachineID.getBytes() or MachineID.getUniqueID() as a unique identifier?

The bytes from MachineID.getBytes() are not to be treated as a unique identifier for a device. It is unique, but is volatile and not suitable to be used as an identifier. There are various system/hardware events which can cause the MachineID bytes to change over time. The same rule applies to MachineID.getUniqueID(). If you do .getBytes() and then compare that to AnotherMachineID.getBytes(), even though they can be the same device (but different runtime or browser), you will get a "false" if you're doing a direct byte-by-byte comparison. This is because during the device individualization process, the device's hardware attributes are interrogated to get a hardware "fingerprint" of the device. This is stored as a data structure in the MachineID data structure.
The only resilient way (with limtiations, as stated in the next section) to compare to different devices to determine if they are the same device is to use MachineID.matches(). That comparison is resilient against machine hardware upgrades (changing hard drives, upgrading your video card, upgrading your CPU, reformatting your machine, changing user accounts, using different browsers, etc…).
(NOTE): There are 2 known limitations to using MachineID.matches():
1. MachineID in the Chrome browser (on any platform) a randomly-generated ID string that is not tied to the hardware. The reason for this is that with the release of Chrome Version 28 browser introduced a sandbox, where code in the browser is not allowed to communicate directly with the hardware layer. This will cause .matches() to fail if comparing a MachineID from Chrome against a MachineID from Firefox, even from the same machine. This also means that if a user "resets Adobe Access DRM/Licenses", they will lose their ID, and it will be re-generated (as a new ID) the next time DRM content is consumed and their machine has to create a new MachineID.
2. A similar limitation applies to iOS devices running iOS7 and higher, as a sandbox was also introduced to that platform, preventing applications from directly accessing the hardware. If you are using iOS7 with a the Primetime Player SDK (PSDK) 1.0 or 1.1, the MachineID for all devices will be the same value, as Apple blocked the device-access APIs (which Adobe Access uses) and caused them to return a static string. Since all iOS7 devices will return the same string when the device hardware interrogation happens, all iOS7 devices using the the PSDK 1.1 or earlier will return true when MachineID.matches() is called. Adobe is working on a high-priority fix to this issue, which will be released in a PSDK 1.1 patch/hotfix, where another persistent API is used to bind the MachineID to the device, instead of the blocked device-access APIs. This new binding mechanism will be persistent across application uninstall/re-installs.
What is consistent between iOS7 and Chrome 28 (and higher), is that the MachineID will no longer be tied to the hardware attributes of the device.
cheers,
/Eric.

In case you would like to find some way to do something that requires concurrency monitoring (e.g. You run a service and wish to limit the # of devices that can access a your service), the best way to do this would be to move towards a "# of concurrent streams" model, similar to Netflix.
To do this, you can use Adobe Pass technology called Mai Tai, or implement your own technology (via cookies or authentication tokens) to limit user accounts to no more than XX concurrent streams.
cheers,
/Eric.

Two TPs can not have same identification.
There are two ways to come out of this problem.
1. Change the identification criteria for the TP.
2. Use exchange level Identification for one TP.

No unique identifier in FCC

Hi Experts,
We have a requirement in SAP PI (7.31) where the flat file is picked from source and sent to Target.

D45
D87
T2
Need inputs on how to proceed in case of no unique identifiers in FCC.

How to create Unique Identifier and save it to identify user(device)

I want to create unique identifier on iOS 5 and use it for identifying user (user device) every time app is started. I am able to create a unique identifier by following code
CFUUIDRef theUUID = CFUUIDCreate(NULL);
CFStringRef string = CFUUIDCreateString(NULL, theUUID); CFRelease(theUUID);
But unable to save it on user device so that particular identifier is not deleted even when app is uninstalled. I tried using SSKeychain approach but it gives Apple Mach-o Linker error.
Please let me know the the way I can accomplish the same.
Any help is appreciated.

Unique Identifier in MDM Profisee Stage table

Hi team,
I am new to MDM profisee tool and currently working for Addres verification project for my organization.
I wanted to clear my doubts here about Unique Identifer in Stage table and how it works.. Here what i understand till now:
Step 1) I created an Entity using MDM profisee UI and it generated a stage table in MDS database called stg.Address_leaf
Step 2) I have loaded data from external source to MDS stage table using ETL and passed Import type as 2 and Import status id as 0
Step 3) I have run store procudure system generated something stg.udp_Address_leaf to load the model and passed the version name as Version_1, Log flag as '1' and Batch tag as 'Address'
Now my below are my questions:
1) What is the field i can use in MDS stage table to populate my unique intifier value coming from source? (lets say Address_Id is my Unique value for all the records coming from source)
2) Where/how Unique Identifier is useful in this process? Will this be helpful in next time load from stage to Model?
3) If i truncate and load my MDS stage table in next run and few earlier records has been updated how it will update those records in Model? will this process (code present in SP) recognize by Unique Identier column present in MDS stage table?
I may have few more questions on this process but wanted to start from here.
Thanks,
Akash

Thanks David for your reply.
So instead of i use Auto generate to populate Code attribute, i can load Code Attribute during loading the stage table with my source unique values.
And then later on, when i will have new updated values coming in for a member record, Stored procedure will use that code attribute value and update the model accrodingly for the changed values for the member?
i need to use Import type as 2 in this case.
Example:
I have existing record in MDS staging table let's say
Code, City, Zip, Import type, Import status
0001, Chicago,61000,2,0
In next load run, i first truncate the data from MDS staging and now i have updated row for existing code ‘0001’ where Zip code values changed from previous 61000 to 61001:
Code, City, Zip, Import type, Import status
0001, Chicago,61001,2,0
In this case, when we execute the SP, it will update the Zip code in Model using Code as unique indentifier. and no duplicates will occur.
Please correct me if i am wrong.
Thanks,
Akash

Problem using SQL-LOADER and Unique Identifiers

I'm trying to load a fixed-length records file containing people names and phone numbers. Data is specified as follows
Toni Tomas66666666669999999999
Jose Luis 33333333330000000000
Notice that a maximum of 2 numbers can follow a person name, and 0000000000 means "no number specified".
I want to assign a unique identifier to people (instead of using the NAME field as a Primary Key) using an Oracle Sequence. I did that, but I don't know
how to assign the same id to each number.
Considering the 2 previous lines, desired result should be:
PEOPLE
======
1     Toni Tomas
2     Jose Luis
TEL_NUMBERS
===========
1     6666666666
1     9999999999
2     3333333333
In order to achieve that, my Control File looks like this
LOAD DATA
INFILE phonenumbers.txt
INTO TABLE people
     personID "mySequenceName.nextval", --an Oracle sequence
     name POSITION(1:10) CHAR
INTO TABLE tel_numbers
WHEN phonenumber !='0000000000'
     personID !!!DON'T KNOW HOW TO REFERENCE THE SAME ID!!!!
     phonenumber POSITION(11:20) CHAR
INTO TABLE tel_numbers
WHEN phonenumber !='0000000000'
     personID !!!DON'T KNOW HOW TO REFERENCE THE SAME ID!!!!
     phonenumber POSITION(21:30) CHAR
I tried lots of things, but anyone works:
a) reference the ID using something like ":\"people.personID\" (or similar aproaches)
b) using a BEFORE INSERT TRIGGER getting the CURRVAL value of the Sequence. This solution
does not work because it seems that all people is loaded before any telephone number. Hence,
all phone numbers are associated, wrongly, to the last person in the data file.
Does anyone know how can I solve this issue?
Help would be appreciated. Thank you.

Hi V Garcia.
Information within the file is correct. Each line represents a COMPLETE record (Part of the line represents parent information and the rest is children data). As you can see in my first message, you can have more than one detail for a given master (i.e. two phone numbers):
Toni Tomas66666666669999999999
(10 chars for the name, 10 for each phone number. Thus, 2 children records to be created)
With the solution given by Sreekanth Reddy Bandi (use of CURRVALUE within the SQL-Loader Control File), not all the details are linked to the parent record on the DB tables. It seems SLQ-Loader gets crazy when there is such amount of information.

Unique identifier of Message

Which approach is better ?
Message-ID header or (IMAP, POP3 UID message) ?
How are you handle this problem in your applications ?
thanks

Use message UIDs (or persistent UIDs) for a client to resynchronize its state from a previous session with the server (e.g., disconnected or offline access). In this case, you might also need to couple your logic with UIDVALIDITY. Any change of unique identifiers between sessions can be detectable using the UIDVALIDITY.
On the other hand, Message ID is not mandatory in the message. For example, some of the messages that we download from yahoomail (or any other mail agent) might not have message Ids.
Therefore, always use UIDs if your job is to resync the client with the email servers.
Thanks
