Making First Name a Required Field

Hello everyone!
I'm attempting to make the first name attribute on the user form (For direct user creation via xelsysadm) required.
I have 5 current user accounts (And tons of old deleted accounts), all of which have first names. However, when I go to the "User Configuration" page and attempt to make the field required, OIM 11g tells me that all users must have a value for that field....
Is there an easier way to do this (Such as metadata manipulation?) If so, which xml is it?
Lastly, how can I get UDFs to be displayed on request-based user creation. I've used an authorization policy to view/modify the attribute, but it still doesn't show up.
Thanks in advance!

Let's do it by parts.
1 - To check which accounts don't have a "First name", connect to your database repository as OIM account owner (usually DEV_OIM):
select usr_login, usr_first_name, usr_last_name from usr
where usr_first_name is null
order by usr_login2 - The metadata xml file is /file/User.xml, use the metadata import/export feature to modify the required fields;
3 - Follow BB's tip, and that note will show you how to do it.

  • Email address replacing first name in To: field

    Hi All,
    We have noticed two different users have sent emails today to two different recipients where the first name is replaced by the email address, for example:
    An email is written to John Doe whose address is [email protected]
    The email is then sent with the TO: field displaying:
    To: [email protected] Doe <[email protected]>
    when it is supposed to display
    To: John Doe <[email protected]>
    Both users affected run different versions of OSX, one running Snow Leopard and the other running Mountain Lion. We have checked the Address Book and Previous Recipients lists for both users and neither show any contacts with odd display names.
    We understand that two incidents isn't a big deal however we have noticed different mail clients will save contacts based on how they are displayed in the To: field and would like to prevent this from happening again. Thanks

    This is less about MX records than it is your mail server configuration.
    Quite simply, your mail server doesn't know that it's supposed to accept mail for johnbutzek.com, so when it sees such a message it assumes it's supposed to relay it to another server, or bounce it if the sender isn't authenticated/trusted.
    Changing the MX may be valid, but it's not going to fix the problem. If the MX record points to this server all you'll get are 'MX points back to me' errors in the postfix log.
    Instead, you need to tell postfix what domain(s) it is supposed to accept mail for. RIght now it sounds like you have it set for 'server.johnbutzek.com' and that's your problem. Change it to 'johnbutzek.com' and your problem should go away.

  • Can I address to the "Smith" family if I have a first name in the field

    Hi I am trying to make some labels for christmas cards.
    If I have a file:
    first name: Peter
    last name: Smith
    Can I address the label to say:
    The Smith Family?
    with address book?
    Thanks,
    Anne Z

    I tried the Pearlabelizer. Despite it's obvious advancements on Address Book's printing to labels, it's got disadvantages too:
    Pro
    Does print specifics of Address Book data to sheets of labels.
    Does add to the labels globally.
    Does insert specific text dynamically to imported/printed groups (SmartGroups or Groups) equally. An example 'The Family' + [last name] is a good one!
    Does begin printing the first page in a specific spot/label, reusing a partial sheet.
    Does format the font of label.
    Con
    Does not import a group/smart group to a page (from Address Book 5.x in Snow Leopard).
    Does not format an entire page at a time, rather each label one at a time, even if all labels selected.
    Does not delete a single label shown on a page. Must start over 'New'.
    While I like the app/utility/add-on to Addressbook, the limitations mean that I may not use it regularly. I'll let the author know about this in the hope he'll continue onward to a 1.0 release. It's at 0.6 now (and not ready for primetime). I'd say 3 1/2 stars...

  • Making Check box a required field

    Hi Guys,
    I am currently creating a form to put on my website and it is
    working okay. However, I want a check box for people to tick
    confirming they have read the terms and conditions.
    I cannot work out how to make it so the form will not send
    without the box bring ticked.
    If i could get it set up so that when trying to submit the
    form without having the box ticked it would leave a message
    explaining the box needs to be ticked that would be good to!
    Can anyone help me please? Am at my wits end!!!

    The only way to do that client-side is with Javascript (which
    is not a
    bad measure for cutting down on spambots), but it's not
    reliable. The
    only way to do it reliably is serverside. PHP:
    <?php
    if ($_POST['checkbox'] == 'checked') {
    // Process form
    } else {
    // Send back to check checkbox
    ?>

  • Drop Down Box Choose A Name and Have only the first name show up

    I am creating a form for health care.
    I have a drop down box with names of Physicians... their full names so they can be easily identified. And then subsequent fields that will be populated based off of the choice. However What I need is that after the full name from the drop down list is selected than only the Dr's First name shows up in the box to be distributed through out the file. All the rest of the information is already in using this Java:
    switch(this.rawValue){
        case "MD":
            form1.Page1.Physician1LastName.rawValue = " Acccc";
            form1.Page1.Physician1Number.rawValue = "1111111111";
            form1.Page1.Physician1Fax.rawValue = "2222222222";
            form1.Page1.ClientEmail.rawValue = "[email protected]";
            form1.Page1.Physician1Address.rawValue = "xyz suite ";
            form1.Page1.Physician1City.rawValue = "XYY CIth";
            form1.Page1.Physician1State.rawValue = "XZ";
            form1.Page1.Physician1Zip.rawValue = "11111";
            form1.Page1.Physician1NPI.rawValue = "111111111";
            form1.Page1.Physician1License.rawValue = "ABBB111111";
            form1.Page1.Physician1UPIN.rawValue = "A11111";
            form1.Page1.Physician1Specialization.rawValue = "Internist";
            break;
    And is working beautifully thanks for previous help everyone.
    Here is the example from the Drop Down list choices:
         Dr. Aaaaa Abb Accccc
         Dr. Baaaa Bbb Bccccc
    I would like to choose :
         Dr. Aaaaa A Aaaaa
    and upon chosing it have it show only the first name in that field so it can be processed correctly through out the rest of the fields.
    ie:    Aaaaa   (Only nothing else)
    I am a horrible at this stuff I just surf around until I find something that works and copy and paste and play until it works
    So Please be specific:
    Java vs FOrm: Client: Choice   and code ....
    Thanks SO much ....

    Take a look at the attached. The script assumes the name is a three-part string such as Dr. Frank Burns. You can modify it according to your needs.
    // form1.page1.dd::exit - (JavaScript, client)
    if (this.rawValue != null) {
      var doc = this.rawValue;
      var i = doc.indexOf(" ");
      doc = doc.substring(i+1,doc.length);
      this.rawValue = doc.substring(0,doc.indexOf(" "));

  • I want to change the infotype 0002 field position(first name & lasname)

    Dear Freinds,
                 I have requirement where i have to change the positions of the first name and last name , as pe standard we will see is
    the lastname under that field we will se the first name . As per the user he wanted first name and then last name . I have read in sap help that it says the table T522N is the place. But before using i wanted to can i change or is there any method where i can do.
    i have changed the name2 as middle name by going to cmod and changing the text label. Here it dint asked me any access key.
    similary for chaning the position of the two fields can i do so please let me know if any body has done this.
    regards
    divya.

    Hi Divya,
    You can't change the position of the fields in standard SAP screens - PA30/20.
    This would be repair and you need to get access key to change the 2000 screen of module pool MP000200.
    T522N is used to change the name format in reports, etc. (Firstname Lastname or Lastname Firstname) It has nothing to do with the field positions in the screen of PA20/30.

  • Duplicate last names when both names in first name field. Keeps repeating.

    When I send e-mails/ reply/ forward to people in my addressbook who have both names in the first name field, the name after the space repeats itself in the last name field. Example: John Doe becomes John Doe Doe after an e-mail.
    Mail is altering this. I've experimented enough to realise that it has nothing to do with syncs or any other program.
    I've seen people have solved this by corretly placing first name and last name in their correct fields. This is NOT an option for me due to the way my Treo works which does not give me the option to organize names by first name. This besides the fact that I have over 500 entries in this manner.
    Irrelevant of this detail, Mail should not be altering address book information this way. There are cases in my country where a person has two first names separated by a space, if I know them in an informal manner I have no interest in having their last name or having AB repeat their second first anme then making me search my treo by last name.
    I'm going to keep bumping this topic until I find some sort of solution or am given one.

    Just ended up taking the time to correct first and last names in their correct fields... screws the view up on my palm, but at least the problem is solved.

  • How can I update the First Name field in Contacts?

    Hi people.
    We are personalizing the object Contacts, but we are with a problem when updating the properties of the field First Name.

    You can achieve your requirement through partner determination for sales doc header.
    To Create Sales Personnel (if you are not using HR module for Sales Personal) in SAP, use Tcode VPE1.
    You have to Maintain Partner Determination in SPRO:
      IMG - SD - Basic Functions - Partner Determination - Set up Partner Determination
    As you can set it up in Sales Order (say, At Header),
    Click: -Set up Partner Determination for Sales Document Header
    Maintain a Partner Determination procedure ZIN - Inquiry Order.(copy TA - Standard Order)
    Make PE-Sales employee as mandatory in ZIN - PE-Sales employee in Partner Function Procedure in Partner Determination procedure.
    Now, From Left-hand side tree, click on:
    Partner determination procedure assignment.
    Here assign ZIN to your Sales Doc type (Say, IN - Inquiry).
    Again from Left-hand tree, select
    Account groups - Function Assignment
    Here, Link all Customer Acct Grps to PE/ VE
    Now in Sales Order (T. Code: VA11/ 12), to include Sales Employee:
    Goto --> Header --> Partner
    here, in Column Partner. Function: Select VE/ PE as defined for Sales Employee.
    Hope this can assist you.
    Thanks & Regards

  • Why does text field in InfoPath 2010 show user name with two commas between first name and last?

    Here's the problem. I have a text field called Manager in an InfoPath 2010 form that is getting populated by a drop down field called
    Business Unit.
    The Business Unit drop-down field is pulling information from
    column A in a custom list via a managed data connection. The custom List has two columns:
    Title & Manager. 
    The Manager column in the custom list is a 'Person or Group' type column.
    The Data Connection pulls both the Title, Manager
    (and ID) data.
    There is a rule on the Business Unit drop-down field to change the value of the
    Manager text field with the Manager data on the custom list. The rule pulls the
    Manager information and filters the value to match the
    Business Unit on the Data Connection with the Business Unit drop-down
    field value (Main).
    The Business Unit drop-down field works great and pulls the value from the custom list, and the rule populates the Manager text field. The problem is that Manager text field shows the name as such:
    [smith,, john]. Notice the two commas between the last and first name. There should only be
    one comma!
    Anyone have an idea why the text field is appearing with two commas?
    Arnel

    Hi all,
    I have a workaround for this. I have an InfoPath 2010 form pulling data from a SP2010 list. The user chooses a System (Business Unit) from the dropdown list and that choice auto populates the associated user (Manager) for that system. I had to
    use concatenation, substring before and substring after to display the correct data.
    concat(substring-before(DisplayName, ",, "), ", ", substring-after(DisplayName, ",, "))
    DisplayName is the original data for the field. I am able to cut & paste this field into the formula. Therefore, I added a few spaces to separate it from the actually formula for future use.
    Select Insert Function
    Select concat
    Select the first link to double-click to insert field
    and then select Insert Function
    Select the Text category and choose substring-before
    Select the third link to double-click to insert field
    and then select Insert Function
    Select the Text category and choose substring-after
    Copy and paste your fieldname (in my case DisplayName) in the
    double-click to insert field
    parts of the substring-before and substring-after links.
    Delete the middle double-click to insert field link
    Add quotes, spaces and commas so that they match the following format:
    concat(substring-before(DisplayName, ",, "), ", ", substring-after(DisplayName,
    Translation:
    concat(substring-before(Doe,, John, ",, "), ", ", substring-after(Doe,,
    John, ",, "))
    Bring together all of the text before ",," (i.e. Doe) with ", " (comma, space) and all text after ",," (i.e. John).
    It should return
    Doe, John.
    I hope this makes sense. I have these instructions with screenshots if you need them, contact me.

  • Moving information from last name field into blank first name field?

  • Cannot tab out of contact first name field in CSXSRISR

    Hi,
    For some specific customers, we have this strange issue. If a value from LOV is chosen for the contact first name, last name or email, user cannot get out of the field. There is no error message. Unless the contact field is cleared, the user cannot enter any more details or save the SR. Does anyone know why this would happen?
    Appreciate your help.
    Alka.

    Hi Alka,
    Dont you see any message at bottom left corner of Oracle Apps screen?
    Looks like some validation is failing when exiting the field.
    Also please check if there is any personalization/customization in the form.
