MDM Custom attributes

Hi gurus,
I'm working with SRM-MDM Catalog 1.0
I'm facing this problem.
I have imported some item with custom attributes (MDM Import Manager), i have mapped fields and values.
In MDM Data Manager items are present but the custom atributes are not present.
Can you help me please?
I'll reward points for useful answers.
Thanks in advance
Gg

Hi Gg,
I guess you haven't imported attributes thats why you are seeing only item hierarchy in data manager and not the attributes.
Follow these steps:
1] To import item hierarchy:
     Source Table : Your file with Hierarchy (Partition Field).
     Destination Table : Repository Taxonomy Table.
2] To Import Attributes:
      Source Table : File with list of custom attributes
       Destination Table : Repository Taxonomy [Attributes]. Thisis a seperate table which we can access through import manager.
3] To Import Attribute vaues:
      Source Table : File with list of custom attributes and values.
       Destination Table : Repository Taxonomy [Text Values]. Again a seperate table which we can access through import manager.
4] To link Attibutes with Items:
     Source Table : File with list of custom attributes and items.
       Destination Table : Repository Taxonomy [Link Attribute]. Seperate table which we can access through import manager.
Once you done with all these steps you should be able to see Item Hierarchy , Linked custom attributes and attribute Values.
Please let me know if this helps.
Regards,
Amol.

Issue with Sorting by Custom Attributes

In our custom SES query application, I am trying to implement sorting at the custom attribute level. I am having difficulty in understanding exactly how to set the options on doOracleOrganizedSearch() to achieve the desired result.
We have a table based content source and allow a user to search via custom search attribute. We are also going to allow them to sort by custom attribute.
For example, say we have a Project content source and one of the attributes is "Client Name". Users are going to be able to sort by client name (A-Z and Z-A). I have a prototype working but it only seems to work if I set topN to a very high number.
I want to bring back the first 10 documents sorted by Client Name A - Z and allowing paging to the next set of sorted results. My prototype works if I set topN to 1000 (more than the # of results) but does not work if I set it to 10 (# of results I want to display per page).
Below if my code. Note I am not setting the group attribute or the cluster list. Perhaps this is the issue?
Many thanks in advance!
OracleResultContainer results = service.doOracleOrganizedSearch
(this.m_query, // query
this.m_docsRequested, // topN
this.m_startIndex, // startIndex
new Integer(10), // docsRequested
this.m_dupRemoved, // dupRemoved
this.m_dupMarked, // dupMarked
this.m_searchDataGroup, // groups
this.m_queryLang, // queryLang
this.m_docLang, // docLang
this.m_returnCount, // returnCount
this.m_filterConnector, // filterConnector
filters, // filters
this.m_fetchAttributeNames, // fetchAttributeNames
null, // searchControls
null, // groupAttr
this.m_sortAttributes, // sortAttrList
null); // clusterList

Hi Nikola,
in 9.0.1 even if you rewrite the web interface you can't sort files by custom attributes setting a SortSpecification to a Folder. You can only sort by base attributes with getItems(). To get item sorted on custom attributes you must perform a search (a lot more codelines).

Limitation on number of custom attributes visible

Hi,
I am using OIM 11g.
All the custom attributes are visible on the create user form. I am able to see only 8 custom attributes on the modify user form.
The visible property of all the attributes is set to true. I cannot modify the attribute once its created at the user creation.
Can someone please help me out?
Thanks...

I got it resolved.
Permissions in the access policies were not enabled for the remaining attributes.

Encrypt custom attribute

Tar: 7340338.994
OID Version: 10.1.2.0.2
We are trying to encrypt the custom attribute ( ssn, answer ). How do we encrypt the custom attribute ? This is security requirement.
I find nothing in the admin guide and I am not even sure we can do this. Does anyone know how to encrypt a custom attribute?
I am thinking at best this is an Enhancement Request.

Several ways:
1. Write a plugin: http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B14099_19/idmanage.1012/b14082/plugin_intr.htm#i120282
2. Put OVD in front of OID, point the application to OVD and write a plugin for OVD: http://download.oracle.com/docs/html/E12283_01/java_plug_ins.htm#CIHBDHHE
3. If you can find the attribute in ODS schema, try encryption at the database level with TDE or VPD. Actually I am not sure it will carry over to LDAP interface..probably not but it's worth a try
4. Have the application do it?

Problem with setting custom attribute and it being searchable

I'm having an issue with setting a custom attribute and having it be searchable using Portal 10.1.4. The situation that we have is that we initially added a bunch of files to Oracle Portal using webdrive. Later on, we decided that we needed another custom attribute called "Pinned Item" that will be used for searching (boolean value) and gave it a default value of false. The attribute was then added to the "File" item type in the "Shared Objects" group.
It appears that since this attribute wasn't initially available on the file object, we couldn't search on it so we decided to set it programatically. First, I tried using wwsbr.set_attribute but it errored out seemingly because the value wasn't set in the first place. If I set a value first by using the web front end, I could then use the set_attribute procedure.
So, I moved on to using wwsbr_api.modify_item and it appears to set it (although everything is being set to false until I changed it to "text" instead of "boolean" which is OK because that's what I wanted anyway... see metalink bug 390618.1). I'm using the method outlined in metalink doc 413079.1. When I do set it to a "1", and edit the item the check box is checked indicating that it is set correctly. And if I just click "OK" to save the attributes after I open it everything works like it should.
However, the advanced search (and custom search portlet) and the search APIs are not picking it up. I'm not sure if I'm hitting Metalink bug ID 5592472 or not as that's using the "set_attribute" procedure instead of the modify_item procedure. And their "workaround" of setting the attribute in the UI isn't really feasible for a couple thousand files.
So far I've tried the following things to get it working:
1. I am calling wwpro_api_invalidation.execute_cache_invalidation
2. I have executed wwv_context.sync
3. I cleared the page group cache
4. I invalidated all of the web cache
Does anyone else have any other suggestions?

Custom Attributes in Target Group Email Campaign Not Refreshed

We have a campaign sending emails to a target group of BPs. To fill our custom attributes with values we have implemented our code in badi CRM_IM_ADD_DATA_BADI method CRM_IM_BPSELE. We tested our code using the Test Send feature from the email form and all worked fine.
But when we ran the campaign in the background for a Target Group with multiple BPs it would not work correctly, our attribute values were incorrect.
We discovered while debugging the job, that the badi gets run once for each BP, but the attribute values from the previous BP do NOT get refreshed. In fact there are 2 entire sets of attribute records in the CT_ATT_VALUES table parameter. Each time through it multiplies by another set of our attributes.
I have put code in the badi as a workaround that deletes the previously filled attributes for the previous BP, but I'd like to figure out what is causing this problem.
Any help would be appreciated.
thanks,
Lee

Hi Lee,
Is this issue resolved for you now??
I am facing the similar problem.
Though the BADi is not used for these two mails (it is used in some other mail forms), it is actually called in 'CRM_ERMS_MAIL_COMPOSE' Function Module and the process is same as u said. There are 2 sets of values.
I am using a Mail Alert functionality where in a 'Mail Alert ON' is sent to field engineers (FE) and then upon FE accepting the work we will send a 'Mail Alert OFF' to FEs.
Problem is, we get one or two fields data incorrectly sometimes. I am not able to find out the root cause yet.
Please let me know if you have had any resolution to this!
Thanks in advance.

How can i add custom attributes to a new Class Object using the API ?

Hello everyone,
Here is my problem. I just created a subclass of Document using the API (not XML), by creating a ClassObjectDefinition and a ClassObject. Here is the code :
// doc is an instance of Document
ClassObject co = doc.getClassObject();
ClassObjectDefinition cod = new ClassObjectDefinition(ifsSession);
cod.setSuperclass(co);
cod.setSuperclassName(co.getName());
cod.setName("MYDocument");
ClassObject c = (ClassObject)ifsSession.createSchemaObject(cod);
Everything seems to be OK since i can see the new class when i use ifsmgr. But my question is : how can i add custom attributes to this new class ? Here is what i tried :
AttributeDefinition value = new AttributeDefinition(ifsSession);
value.setAttribute("FOO", AttributeValue.newAttributeValue("bar"));
c.addAttribute(value);
But i got the following error message :
oracle.ifs.common.IfsException: IFS-30002: Unable to create new LibraryObject
java.sql.SQLException: ORA-01400: impossible d'insirer NULL dans ("IFSSYS"."ODM_ATTRIBUTE"."DATATYPE")

void fr.sword.ifs.GestionDocument.IFSDocument.createDocument(java.lang.String)
void fr.sword.ifs.GestionDocument.IFSDocument.main(java.lang.String[])
So, what am i doing wrong ?
More generally, are we restricted in the types of the attributes ? (for example, would it be possible to add an attribute that would be an inputStream ? Or an object that i have already created ?).
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Hi Guillaume,
you're welcome. Don't know exactly, but assume that ATTRIBUTEDATATYPE_UNKNOWN
is used to check for erronous cases only
and it shouldn't be used otherwise.
Creating your own objects could be simply done via
ClassObject ifsClassObject;
DocumentDefinition ifsDocDef = new DocumentDefinition(ifsSession);
// get class object for my very own document
ifsClassObject = ClassObject.getClassObjectFromLabel(ifsSession, "MYDOCUMENT");
// set the class for the document i'd like to create
ifsDocDef.setClassObject(ifsClassObject);
// set attributes and content for the document...
ifsDocDef.setAttribute("MYFOO_ATTRIBUTE",....);
ifsDocDef.setContent("This is the content of my document");
// create the document...
PublicObject doc = ifsSession.createPublicObject(ifsDocDef);

Custom Attribute not available in Available Fields section of Configuration

Hi Experts,
My requirement is to add a custom search field in contact search screen. For that i tried various options
Option1
Added a model attribute in component/view BP_CONT SEARCH/Search. The attribute got successfully added. But when i opened the Configuration tab, i could not see the attribute in the available fields.
Option 2
In the view CRMVC_SDESIGN, i created a new entry for my attribute in object type: BP_CONTACT and design object . But doing so, i got an error and was not able to add my attribute
Option3
Since the View context node 'Search' is bound to the Component Controller Context node 'Search'. I created my custom attribute in compoennt controller also. But this also did not help.
Option 4
I deleted the enhancement of the view and created a new enhancement. I created a value node in Search context node. But still the attribute is not available in the Availble Fields in the Configuration of component/view BP_CONT_SEARCH/SEARCH.
Kindly provide your valuable suggestions to resolve this issue.
Regards,
Radhika
Edited by: Radhika Chuttani on Jan 6, 2012 7:28 AM

Hi Radhika,
You need to enhance the search query structure as well in order to get the field in the configuration.
You can find the BOL structure for the corresponding context node bol model.
In your case, the BOL model is the search object 'BuilContactAdvancedSearch'.
The corresponding structure can be found at the BOL Model Browser, under Dynamic Query Objects
for the search object 'BuilContactAdvancedSearch'. The corresponding structure 'CRMT_BUPA_IL_CONP_SEARCH'
has to be enhanced with the new custom attribute. Only then, this field would be available in the configuration
when the following htm code gets executed when you open the configuration tab.
<thtmlb:advancedSearch id                = "advs0"
                                 fieldMetadata     = "<%= controller->GET_DQUERY_DEFINITIONS( ) %>"
                                 header            = "<%= SEARCH->get_param_struct_name( ) %>"
                                 fieldNames        = "<%= controller->GET_POSSIBLE_FIELDS( ) %>"
                                 values            = "//SEARCH/PARAMETERS"
                                 maxHits           = "//SEARCH/MAX_HITS"
                                 ajaxDeltaHandling = "false"
                                 onEnter           = "search" />
Here you can see that, it reads the parameter structure using the method SEARCH->get_param_struct_name( ) of
the context node.This is used for configuration as well.
Also if you have an F4 help for your custom attribute, you have to add it in the GET_DQUERY_DEFINITIONS( ) of the
view controller. These additional information will help you to understand better.

Help needed in Inbox search for Custom attribute

Hi,
We have a requirement where in we are having a custom attribute on Service request to store the ECC Order number.
We have enhanced the Inbox search to retreive all the service requests havig the ECC order number.
Here we are encountering a problem. i just created a new crm service request and entered order number 1234. and now when i search for the same in Inbox search giving the criteria order number as 1234. I get no results found. But when i extend the max list to 2000, then i see the service request appearing in the result list. not sure about the algorithm that is designed for inbox search.
Any pointers on how to resolve this issue would be of great help.
Thanks,
Udaya

Hi,
I do not have the time to research this completely, but I had a short look into the class you posted.
In the GET_DYNAMIC_QUERY_RESULT there is a call to CL_CRM_QCOD_HELPER->PREPROCESS( )
A little bit lower there are blocks marked by comments for the single searches that are handled by this class. I had a look into the campaign_serach() method. There if you scroll a little bit down (around line 123) they set all search parameters to SIGN = 'I' OPTION = 'EQ'. This is done several times below as well.
Set a breakpoint in the proprocess() method and check which of the blocks is called and how they handle your search criteria.
Hope it helps.
cheers Carsten

How do I access the name of the file stored in a custom attribute?

I have created a custom attribute based on a file type and am using it in a custom page type. However, the value stored in wwsbr_folder_attributes is a sequential number rather than the name of the jpg file entered into the attribute. How do I access the true filename, as this seems to be what I need in order to reference it in an <IMG SRC=> tag?

Hi Francis -
You should be able to use this relatively use this sequential number in an image tag in the following way:
<img border="0" src="docs/1/211800.GIF" width="470" height="108">
Hope this helps,
Candace

How to add Custom Attributes in the SOAP header for OWSM

Hi,
I like to know how to add the Custom Attributes in the SOAP header for OSWM username token authentication.
Currently we are getting the header element like
<wsse:Security xmlns:wsse="http://docs.oasis-open.org/wss/2004/01/oasis-200401-wss-wssecurity-secext-1.0.xsd" xmlns:wsu="http://docs.oasis-open.org/wss/2004/01/oasis-200401-wss-wssecurity-utility-1.0.xsd">
here we need to add the attribute "soap:mustUnderstand="1" , so the element will look like
<wsse:Security soap:mustUnderstand="1" xmlns:wsse="http://docs.oasis-open.org/wss/2004/01/oasis-200401-wss-wssecurity-secext-1.0.xsd" xmlns:wsu="http://docs.oasis-open.org/wss/2004/01/oasis-200401-wss-wssecurity-utility-1.0.xsd">

Hi Jay, you can make it in more than 1 way.
I suggest you the following:
- create an URL iview that points to any URL you want.
- define a Resource that points to the iview (with a window name, to open in new window)
- define an Area that points to the resource
- add your new Area to the your current Area Group

How can I add a custom attribute to a catalog area? (CRM Isa Sales)

Gents,
How can I add a custom attribute to a catalog area? (CRM Isa Sales)
Actually I would like to use the Catalog Area Type (maintained in trx COMM_PCAT_ADM on Catalog Area Header level). This field doesn't seem to be available in J2EE webshop. (The field documentation says it is for documentation purposes only so I don't expect it to be transferred).
As this field is not readily available, I would like to add is as an attribute to the Catalog Area. BADI's PCAT_IMS_FEED_ATT and PCAT_IMS_FEED_VAL seem to indicate that it should be possible to add additional fields not only on product level, but also on Area level:
Example implementation code:
method IF_EX_PCAT_IMS_FEED_ATT~READ_NEW_FIELDS.
* Example, how to add new attributes to a indexcategory
* Possible levels are 'C'ategory and 'P'roduct.
* Field 'VALUE' carries the attributetype ('S'tring, 'I'ntegar or
* 'F'loat)
* Structure 'IS_OBJECTS' carries actuall identifiers
data: ls_fields        type comt_pcat_ims_feed_ux.
case iv_level.
    when 'C'.                        "Category Level
*     no new field
    when 'P'.                        "Product Level
      ls_fields-field = 'CUSTOMER_EXIT_FIELD'.
      ls_Fields-value = 'S'.
      append ls_fields to ct_fields.
*     exproduct fields
      ls_fields-field = 'REMAN_ABL'.
      APPEND ls_fields TO ct_fields.
      ls_fields-field = 'EXCH_BUS'.
      APPEND ls_fields TO ct_fields.
endcase.
endmethod.
However, when I create an implementation and add some code in the when 'C' part, the attributes do not seem to get transferred. (I've checked in the debug mode of the developer studio).
- My example code:
METHOD if_ex_pcat_ims_feed_att~read_new_fields.
* Possible levels are 'C'ategory and 'P'roduct.
* Field 'VALUE' contains the attributetype
* ('S'tring, 'I'ntegar or * 'F'loat)
DATA:
ls_fields LIKE LINE OF ct_fields.
CASE iv_level.
    WHEN 'C'.                        "Category Level
      ls_fields-value = 'S'.
      ls_fields-field = 'ZTEST'.
       APPEND ls_fields TO ct_fields.
    WHEN 'P'.                        "Product Level
ENDCASE.
ENDMETHOD.
and:
METHOD if_ex_pcat_ims_feed_val~read_new_fields.
CASE iv_level.
    WHEN 'C'.
     ls_fields-field = 'ZTEST'.
     ls_Fields-value = 'Value 1'.
     append ls_fields to ct_fields.
    WHEN 'P'.
ENDCASE.
ENDMETHOD.
In the ABAP debugger, I can see that my code is touched during initial and delta replications, however, after replication, the fields do not show up in the Java debugger.
Any ideas?
regards,
Wilco Menge

            "_charset_":"utf-8"
I have added a field called "starred"
Moreover, when I using the firebug to trace the post command, I can see that the starred value is posted also.
:status

However, when I go to the crxde to view the node's attribute, the properity starred is not created
Are there anything I did wrong or missing?
Thanks.
