Multiple Collection Steps

Hi Experts,
I have a requirement to trigger multiple collection steps when a certain condition is reached.
For e.g. I have two different steps to
1. Send a disconnection notice.
2. Remove customer from Budget Billing.
These two are common steps for all customers but for a certain group I have to perform both. One option would be to create a third collection step and assign multiple dunning activities to achieve this.
Is there any other way by which this can be achieved in BRF itself.?
Regards,
Shweta

Shweta:
FICA collections does not support multiple results being passed back from BRF (gui version, I assume, and not BRF+). You would need to define a step with multiple activities. Alternately, they could be steps which are triggered on consecutive days?
regards,
bill.

Can i use the same advertisement to multiple collections?

Can i use the same advertisement to multiple collections?
Advertisment A1 currently linked to collection C1.
Can i use the same advertisement A1 to a collection C2? Because my collection C1 is query based and the C2 would be a static one.
If i use the same A1 advert, will it affect the earlier linked C1 collection i any ways?
System Security analyst at CapG

Well, in 2007 you actually kind of can. You can used linked collections to make C2 a linked sub-collection under C1 and ensure that the advert applies to sub-collections.

What is the best way to sync multiple collections of contacts among multiple users?

(I originally submitted this question under the "Mac OS X Technologies" section, but got no response. I'm submitting a duplicate here because this is where all the smart folks are! My apologies that my question is only partially related to OS X Server . . . )
What is the best way to sync multiple collections of contacts among multiple users on iOS and OS X?
For example, suppose I have three collections of contacts: Bob's, Sally's, and Common. I want Bob to be able to access and sync Bob's contacts and Common contacts, and Sally to access and sync Sally's contacts and Common contacts. Bob and Sally never need to access or sync each other's contacts. Bob and Sally would both sync and share contacts in Common.
How would I best implement this? It's my understanding I have three options for managing contacts across iOS and OS X: 1. iCloud accounts, 2. Install OS X server, or 3. Install and manage Darwin CardDAV directly. Which method would best support what I wish to do?
I am a seasoned Unix geek well versed in the terminal, so I am prepared to get my hands dirty as much as necessary to achieve what I want. Also, it is sufficient if syncing takes place over WiFi on the local network, in fact, that is desirable versus syncing over the cloud.

Thanks for your reply Nick101. I see my example was oversimplified. When I say "multiple groups of contacts over multiple users" I'm really referring to N groups of contacts over N users.
So I need to add Fred, who can access and sync Bob's contacts, Sally's contacts, and Common contacts, as well as Fred's contacts. Can I do it with OS X server?
You mention you keep your and your partner's contacts administered locally. What keeps you from administering them through OS X server as well?
I am guessing this can all somehow be accomplished with multiple contact accounts, but I can't find any information on the web explicitly describing this.

Add single computer to multiple collections listed in a file

Good afternoon,
I am trying to figure out how to add a single computer to multiple collections based on the contents of a file. Basically, I have a frontend hta for deployments. On that hta are checkboxes for various bits of software that should be installed, for example
MS Office. When the hta is submitted, if a software checkbox is checked it writes to a text file on the server indicating it was checked. Once the deployment is completed a script is run via a status filter rule. The intent is for that script to read the file
on the server and add the computer that was just imaged to the collections identified by the checked boxes.
Obviously I am not having much luck which is why I am here looking for a bit of help.
Here is the code that I am working with..both the while and foreach version
$file = New-Object System.IO.StreamReader -Arg $path
while ($line = $file.ReadLine()) {
Add-CMDeviceCollectionDirectMembershipRule -CollectionName $line -Resourceid $ClientName
$file.close()
foreach ($line in (Get-Content $path)) {
Add-CMDeviceCollectionDirectMembershipRule -CollectionName $line -Resourceid $ClientName
I have found that if I manually assign a value to $line everything works as expected, but if I try to read from the file and use either a while or foreach loop it fails.
I can enter a quick write-host and see that the value of each line is being returned as I would expect it but the system just returns the following error for each one:
Add-CMDeviceCollectionDirectMembershipRule : No object corresponds to the specified parameters.
I am sure that there are better ways to do this and I am sure there are cleaner ways to code it, but I am not a Powershell guru so please be kind. ;)

"-Resourceid $ClientName" is not correct because ResourceID != Clientname. See
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj850102(v=sc.20).aspx There is no parameter that accepts the name of the client.
Torsten Meringer | http://www.mssccmfaq.de
Thank you for the suggestion, but that is not the issue. As mentioned in the first post, if I manually assign the collection variable value it works without issue. This is to include *without* changing the $Clientname.
Previously in the script, which was not shown is the following:
$Clientname = (Get-CMDevice -Name $Clientname).ResourceID
If I do a Write-Host $Clientname after that line of code I am returned the correct numeric value. That said, part of my troubleshooting *before* I posted here was to hardcode the numeric resource ID of the client which did not change anything unless the
value of the collection variable was manually set or the variable replaced with the collection name.
So, any ideas as to why it is not able to read and process collection names from a text file?

Select_step problem in a dynamic Multiple RoadMap Step

Hi everybody,
I am working with a roadmap that dynamically assigns the number of steps from a data source assign to the multiple roadmap step. When I selected a step I am not being able to change the focus and yellow color to it. I already know which step the user selected by reading the context element assign to the multiple roadmap step, but what do I need to do in order to change the focus and color of it?.
I read other post that describe the same issue, and the answer was to change the lead selection of the roadmap, but when I tried to do it I receive a dump saying that I cannot change the lead selection.
This answered post [Re: Multipleroadmapstep Problem|] describes perfectly my problem and I already post the same question on it, but I think nobody reads it because the status of the post is answered..

Eric

Hi Arpan,
I'm getting the dump exactly at this point " lo_nd_roadmap->set_lead_selection_index( vl_index )". I maded a few test based on your comment, with and without the '-index value' and also changing the context node bind to the selected_step, when I use the context_node "mrs" (this context is bound to the multiple roadmap step) like the code above I get no errors at all, but the step is not getting mark, neither changes its color. In this case I get the dump if I added the '-2'.
If I bind another context to the selected_step of the roadmap and do the same procedure (replacing the wdctx_mrs for the new context) I get a dump at " lo_nd_roadmap->set_lead_selection_index( vl_index )" with the '2' or '-2' values.
Any sugestions?
DATA: lo_nd_roadmap     TYPE REF TO if_wd_context_node,
        lo_el_roadmap     TYPE REF TO if_wd_context_element.
* navigate from <CONTEXT> to <MAIN> via lead selection
lo_nd_roadmap = wd_context->get_child_node( name = wd_this->wdctx_mrs ).
* get element via lead selection
lo_el_roadmap = lo_nd_roadmap->get_element( ).
data: vl_element Type Ref To IF_WD_CONTEXT_ELEMENT,
      vl_index type sy-tabix.
CALL METHOD lo_nd_roadmap->get_lead_selection_index
receiving
    index = vl_index.
vl_index = sl_roadmap-step_id.
lo_nd_roadmap->set_lead_selection_index( vl_index ).

Need some help archiving and photos that are in multiple collections.

After creating a new catalog for photos from a collection, I'd want to remove the photos from Lightroom and keep on disk. In the collection, there are some photos that are in multiple other collections and I'd want to keep those images in their other collections and so not removed them from Lightroom.
Need some advice on how to easily identlfy those images that are in other collections and thus might not want to remove those images from Lightroom.

Well, Bob, that works, but agreeing with Geoff, I don't think this is the best solution to the problem; in fact I don't even think this is a good solution to this problem.
If there isn't a lot of space left, and the user wants to do something about the photos in those collections, then the photos should be moved (in Lightroom, or via this process: http://www.computer-darkroom.com/lr2_find_folder/find-folder.htm) to a different drive. This generates more free space on the SSD drive. The photos remain in the Lightroom catalog, and they remain in the multiple collections that they are in now.
MrhoniKeith -- your photos probably should not go on the SSD in the first place. Photos ought to be stored on a normal hard drive, not an SSD. You can move them to a regular hard drive en masse, freeing up plenty of space on the SSD via this method: http://www.computer-darkroom.com/lr2_find_folder/find-folder.htm. This is the BEST solution to your problem -- keep everything in a single catalog, with photos on a normal hard disk. The idea of having multiple catalogs to help free up space on one drive works opposite to the best practices of using Lightroom, in which most people recommend using a single catalog for all of your photos, except in special cases where the photo's contents are completely non-overlapping, for example Personal and Business catalogs.
Removing photos from some collections but not others will NOT free up space. That's not how Lightroom works. Lightroom has not made multiple copies of your photos for each collection. Deleting photos from collections will NOT free up space.

Save data into multiple collections in Data Control

Hi,
In another post (https://forums.oracle.com/message/11094155) I asked how to merge data from multiple collections and show it into a table. FrankNimphius gave me the correct answer. I have now my table with data merged from some collections from my data control. But now I have the opposite request: the table must allow insert new rows and store the data in the model that is represented by all those collections.
I saw this blog https://blogs.oracle.com/jdevotnharvest/entry/how_to_add_new_adf, and is great, but works with one collectionModel, but the idea is exactly the same, just with multiple collectionModels inside a parent one.
The table is not bounded to one collectionModel, it is bounded to a List<MyObject> in my managed bean, so the built-in Create/Delete data control operations of the parent collection don't work.
Another thing is: for me the model is a black box, I don't know anything about the model, I just know the datacontrol.
Thanks!

Hi Frank,
I tried calling the create built-in operation for each collection.
I insert the row in the parent RowSetIterator and set it as the currentRow, then call the create operation. Later insert rows in each children and call the create operation of each one. Finally I call the commit operation.
I tried and it worked, but you said that there would be a tricky part. I don't know if in the code bellow I did that, please let me know.
In the bellow code the PersonasBinding2 is bind to the iterator of the parent collection, and the PersonaNaturalBinding2 and IdentificacionBinding2 are bind to the children collections.
            DCBindingContainer bindingContainer = (DCBindingContainer)BindingContext.getCurrent().getCurrentBindingsEntry();
            JUCtrlHierBinding personasBinding = (JUCtrlHierBinding)bindingContainer.findCtrlBinding("PersonasBinding2");
            RowSetIterator personasRowSet = personasBinding.getIteratorBinding().getRowSetIterator();
            Row nuevaFilaPersona = personasRowSet.createRow();
            nuevaFilaPersona.setAttribute("Id",15);
            nuevaFilaPersona.setAttribute("TipoPersona",0);
            OperationBinding createPersonaOperation = bindingContainer.getOperationBinding("CreatePersona");
            createPersonaOperation.execute();
            personasRowSet.setCurrentRow(nuevaFilaPersona);
            JUCtrlHierBinding personaNaturalBinding = (JUCtrlHierBinding)bindingContainer.findCtrlBinding("PersonaNaturalBinding2");
            RowSetIterator personaNaturalRowSet = personaNaturalBinding.getIteratorBinding().getRowSetIterator();
            Row nuevaFilaPersonaNatural = personaNaturalRowSet.createRow();
            nuevaFilaPersonaNatural.setAttribute("IdPersona",15);
            nuevaFilaPersonaNatural.setAttribute("PrimerApellido","PA");
            nuevaFilaPersonaNatural.setAttribute("PrimerNombre","PN");
            nuevaFilaPersonaNatural.setAttribute("SegundoApellido","SA");
            nuevaFilaPersonaNatural.setAttribute("SegundoNombre","SN");
            OperationBinding createPersonaNaturalOperation = bindingContainer.getOperationBinding("CreatePersonaNatural");
            createPersonaNaturalOperation.execute();
            JUCtrlHierBinding identificacionBinding = (JUCtrlHierBinding)bindingContainer.findCtrlBinding("IdentificacionBinding2");
            RowSetIterator identificacionRowSet = identificacionBinding.getIteratorBinding().getRowSetIterator();
            Row nuevaFilaIdentificacion = identificacionRowSet.createRow();
            nuevaFilaIdentificacion.setAttribute("IdPersona",15);
            nuevaFilaIdentificacion.setAttribute("NumeroIdentificacion","NI");
            nuevaFilaIdentificacion.setAttribute("TipoIdentificacion","TI");
            OperationBinding createIdentificacionOperation = bindingContainer.getOperationBinding("CreateIdentificacion");
            createIdentificacionOperation.execute();
            OperationBinding commitOperation = bindingContainer.getOperationBinding("Commit");
            commitOperation.execute()
By other side, in the delete operation I guess that I must delete the childrens before the parent. I know that ADF supports the delete cascade operation only if in the database is configured in that way, but as I said, I don't know how is the model.
Thanks!

About case and switch in multiple condition step in workflow.

i ve some information about case and switch in multiple condition in workflow.
case - static determination
switch - runtime determination.
but i want brief explanation about case and switch and difference please help me.....

hi velmurugan............
    in case,
           we can have only one value for comparison and can have any number of branches for it.
   in switch,
           we can compare any number of values and have any number of branches.
eg:
     consider i am triggering a workflow for purchase order change and i am having a multiple condition step.
if i am going for a case:
        i can have only on value (ie po number/vendor number.....) as a parameter and can check different values with it. ( eg vendor number < 1000
                                                             vendor number > 1000.... so on)
        a branch will be created for each condition.
if i am going for a switch:
        i can take any parameter needed. (eg: vendor number > 1000
                                                                order type = 'NB' .... so on)
         so a single branch can have any number of comparisons with the help of 'and' and 'or' operators and i can have any parameter for my condition.

Possible to add multiple 'Collections' to a container

Hello,
In DB XML, is a 'Container' equivalent to an xquery 'Collection' ? All of the examples that I see, refer to the container when specifying the collection.
Basically, I would like to create one Container - call in container1.dbxml Within container1, I would like to have multiple collections, collection1, collection2.
I would then like to be able to run xqueries such as:
count(/*) - and get a count of all the docs in both collection1 and collection2 or
collection("collection1")/* - and get all the nodes in collection1 only
So, bottom line question - can I add multiple collections to a container, or is a container and collection equivalent in DB XML?
Thanks for your responses.

IBB
What you want to do is create a class that extends the Java XmlResolver class, and register that class with the XmlManager. In your extended class you would want to implement the following function:
public boolean resolveCollection(XmlTransaction txn, XmlManager mgr, String uri, XmlResults result)
So that the result argument contains all the documents in the collection specified by the uri. You will likely want to do this by querying the container for the documents for the given collection and copying the results returned by the query to the argument.
Below is an example of an implementation of the function that resolves the collection to a single document.
public boolean resolveCollection(XmlTransaction txn, XmlManager mgr, String uri, XmlResults result) throws XmlException {
     XmlDocument doc = mgr.createDocument();
     doc.setName(name);
     doc.setContent(content);
     XmlValue val = new XmlValue(doc);
     result.add(val);
     return true;

How to best sync multiple collections of contacts between multiple users

I am a seasoned Unix geek well versed in the terminal, so I am prepared to get my hands dirty as much as necessary to achieve what I want. Also, it is sufficient if syncing takes place over WiFi on the local network, in fact, that is desirable versus syncing over the cloud.

Burning photos from multiple collections to a CD

I have multiple collections that I want to burn to a CD. It seems I can only burn one collection at a time using the File > Burn command.
Is the only way to accomplish this to Export the photos to a folder and then use a third party software to burn these photos to a CD?
Thanks for your time, myra

The whole point behind collections [assuming you are referring to the PSE 3 Organizer facility of that name] is that they are project-oriented. In other words, you should only use one in order to define the images [and their sequence] for a particular task. Burning a CD is such a task. This is why it is only possible to assert one collection at a time. For all other organization, use tags.
To address your problem is easy enough. Just create a new collection, say "CD burn", then select each other collection in turn and apply this new one to all the images. Then, select the CD Burn collection and you're all set.

Valuation Number usage in BRF ACTION: Collection Step (Class 0FICACS001)

Hello colleagues,
I am trying to determine the exact usage of the"Valuation Number" field while I configure a BRF Action of Implementation Class 0FICACS001 (Collection Step). Note: this is not BRFPlus.
The Valuation Number field allows me to search for BRF Expressions in the drop-down.
Does this mean that I have to first pre-calculate a value (score) and store the value as a numeric expression?
And then select it as the "Valuation Number" while configuring the Collection Step?
Your feedback would be really appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
Ivor Martin

Ivor:
You need to define an expression (likely a formula) which would fill that field value. If no value is populated, then the standard functionality would prioritize the actions based upon dollar amount.

[BPM] Multiple receiving steps

Hey,
found this demo for multiple receive steps.
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04s/helpdata/en/cb/15163ff8519a06e10000000a114084/content.htm
I tried to create a BPM with multiple receive steps, where one step could start
the process. The example needs to receive ALL steps before it starts.
How to define a BPM where ANY receive step can start the BPM?
Would like to receive different Message-Types and transform them to
a generic structure.
thanks
chris

Hi,
Use standard pattern multiple Trigger which you can find under BASIS software component under patterns namespace.
Let me brief.
First step would be fork with necessary branches(depends on how many systems are participating in requirement). Under each branch insert receive step and for each receive step you it as a start process if required.

How to implement Multiple Roadmap step with in a roadMap

Hi,
I am trying to implement Multiple roadmap step with in a roadMap.Can any one help me on this how to do it.
As of now i have added Multiple roadmap step element with in my Road map navigation and assign a data source which contains single attribute steps. I am stuck here open question like
1) How i map the view accordingly with the steps that are dynamically created
2) Weather i have to create dynamic plugs? to handle it
Can any one help me out or if you have any sample implementation please guide me through that link.
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Karthikeyan R

Hi,
1. In the View add a RoadMapUI element.
2. Right click->Insert Steps (as many as required)
3. Set the design property of the Roadmap step as standard / selected (Highlighted if set to "Selected")
This is for a static approach i.e if there are 3 views, then in all the three views u repeat the procedure above and set the property as Selected for the required step.
For dynamic selection of roadmap, bind the design property to context attribute of type WDRoadMapDesign and set the property thru code.
Hope this helps you.

Multiple collection agencies

Our company is looking to make use of multiple collection agencies. Has anyone done this?
How do you determine what accounts go to a collection - split the amount? according to zip code? etc?
how do you ensure that an agency is not getting preferencial treament in getting accounts?

Hi Nikhil,
When you perform a release either thru FP03E\FP03M, event 5060 is triggerred.
You can design your own allocation rules in this event depending on your business requirement.
Moroever, if you want the users to allocate the accounts to the collection agency in equal proportion, then you can code in this event .
If Sy-tcode EQ "FP03E', then it triggers the allocation rules and automatcially releases the accounts to a particular agency depending on the rules set.
Now if you have two collection agencies and you want to allocate the debts in equal proportion automatically, then you first need to maintain these collection agencies in a custom table along with the specific percentages and then call them in the allocation rule.
You need to build in a logic for mainataining the propotion b/w the items released to the collection agency.
I dont think there is any standard process to decide on the criteria for releasing the accounts to the collection agencies. It depends on the business requirement , say-All the contract accounts belonging to the same BP are released to the same collection agency.
Hope it helps....
Thanks,
Amlan
