Regenerating a target group automatically

Hello all,
I am facing the following problem: I want to set a target group that will be automatically regenerated on a daily basis.
I build a profile in the segment builder and counted the BP's who are in it, then I builed a target group in the background in order to set it up to be periodic . In this point something which I don't understandand don't know how to deal with happens: the number of BP's in my TG returns to zero, and even if I am executing the job (transaction sm37), immediately- it dosen't change, there are no BP's in my TG .
can someone pleas through some light on this...

Hello Andreas,
since CRM 5.0 it is possible to create target groups containing Organizations with Relations and Contact Persons.
So if you use the Infoset CRM_MKTTG_BP_PRTFUNC_REL you can fill the target group with all the necessary information.
This should be a solution for your problem.

Guido.

Regeneration of Target Group

Hi crmguys,
We have the following case about the Target Group in CRM Marketing:
Already Generate a Target Group in Segment Builder on x date
A Campaign has been created and the Target Group has been assigned to this Campaign
After that some changes has been done at the time of releasing the campaign,
shall i have to regenerate the target group or not to get the exact target group accroding to attribute list
thanks in advance
Raj

hi
you said you already maintained the target group ,so when you release the campign its pretty simple,if you have maintained the target group using the same set of attributes which are there in your attribute list,then you need not create the target group again
but if thats not the case then you need to regenerate the target group on the basis of attribute list,infosets or BW query,using whatever you want to do the segmentation.
target group once assigned to the campaigns can be used again and again but on the basis of which target group are assigned is very crucial.this must be remembered every time we do segmentation.
besides you can maintain a background job for scheduling the target group assignment to the BP too,so that once target group is generated it is assigned automatically for segmentation.

Target Group Regeneration

Good Day
I have created a target group with a date range parameter for the previous month. I want to run this automatically every month to extract data for the previous month. Is this possible? And if yes, how do I do it?
Thanks & Regards
Shahkera

After each execution the target group is now free for editing.
Have set up a job for regenerating the target group.
(there was some sort of delay/blockage in releasing the target group after execution, seems to work fine now)

Automatic Profile Set / Target Group Creation in SAP CRM

Hi,
Need some help on the listed process.
Is there any procedure to create Profile Ser/Target group automatically based on certain criteria? We want to reduce the manual work of Profile/Target group creation for the users.
We are currently using SAP CRM 5.0 and looking at options of creating Target Groups automatically based on infoset. The criteria used to model is below mentioned.
- New Customers & Head Office (They are the customer specific Z-fields in BP Master Data)
- Relationship Data: Has contact person Relationship. This is based on the assignment of Contact person to the BP (i.e. Day when the Relationship assignment done to the respective BP Master Data --> under Relationship tab page.
We are not using Attribute Set (that we assign to Marketing Attribute tab page of BP Master), for your information.
Appreciate, if you could let us know whethe this is possible by Standard feature/ any work around on this.
Kindly do the needful.
Thanks,
Rahul

Creation of empty target group---URGENT!!!!!!!

Hi...
   I have a scenario in campaign automation where i need to create a target group automatically when ever a customer clicks on yes/no in the survey.
      I hope there is a standard workflow which creates target grooup.but do we need to have an empty target group so that who ever cliks on yes/no can form a target group.?
   When ever a Target group is created,i need to create LEAD automatically from it.How do i achieve this?is there a workflow or BADI? and if at all leads are created automatcally,how are they automatically assigned to Lead qualifier??
Regards,
Sanjana

hi sanjana
its easy as you just assign a new target group to existing or new profile set and do not assign any BP tp that target group
this way you have empty target group at your discretion.

Transport Layers and Target Groups

Hello,
Can one transport layer be assigned to two different target groups? We have some number range changes that are automatically trying to go to our FIX_QAX target group since it is config, however, the transport cannot be generated because the config is part of package KEG0 which is set up currently as part of the SAP layer which only handles the FIX_IND target group. I was thinking of making the SAP layer go to both target groups FIX_QAX & FIX_IND. Is there any danger of this?
Thank you for your time,
Erin Byrne

i think we can't assing a transport layer to 2 different target groups. and, even connection b/n 2 target groups is not possible. i am not sure, if we can use the same transport layer (SAP) twice.
the alternative way is.. manually (copy the data file and cofile in the other tranport domain) import the request.
hope this info helps.
regards,
Rajesh.

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.

Target group changing

Hello All,
I've created TG "My TG" and attached it to a campaign "My campaign". I released campaign and transffered a group to a channel(call list in my case)
After that I want to add additional BP to "My TG" and attach this group to the same campaign.
According to help.sap.com I should delete the target group from campaign , change it and attach it again.
But when I tryed to delete TG from campaign I got error message "Segment already transfered to a channel".
Some suggestion?
Is there some another way to add additional BP's to existing target group and attached it to the same campaign?
Thank you very much

Exclude partners when saving the target group

Hi experts!!
I have the following requirement: i need to automatically exlude some contacts (e.g. blocked contacts) when creating a target group.
Is there any BADI or other exit which is called "on save" of the target group???
Thank you in advance!!!

Hi,
you could also try to build up a Segmentation Basis containing all the partners that can potentially be included in your Target Group. But for low volume segmentation this can get very performance critical if the Segmentation Basis contains many partners.
I don't believe there is a possibility to directly exclude them when generating the Target Group

Graphical Modeler / Target Group Settings

Hello, experts!
When using the graphical modeler to create a target group, we can go to settings and, in the "Target Groups" section, we can define the Number of Members Displayed.
The problem here is: we can only set this value to 9999. Any value above this is set automatically back to 9999.
We use some target groups here much bigger than 9999 (some with 60000 partners) and sometimes we need to browse or export this list to excel. The number of partners displayed (and, consequently, the number of partners exported to and excel spreadsheet) is limited by this setting.
Is it possible to change this parameter anywhere to numbers bigger than 9999?
Thanks and Regards,
Arthur

Hi, Anders!
You can, indeed, change this value inside CRMD_MKTSEG. It accepts only one more digit, so I can use 99999.
However, this is still a problem, because I have to change it in every user inside SAP GUI, since it's an user parametrization. The end users here won't have access to SAP GUI. They will run the Web Client and perform every action there.
My question is: Is it possible to configure it to accept a value bigger than 99999? Is it possible to bring this value by default in the graphical modeler in the web client?
Because if we try to change the value inside the graphical modeler in the web client, when we click "ok" to accept the settings, the system changes the value in the field back to 9.999 (and it's also changed in SAP GUI).
Can anyone help me with this?
Best Regards,
Arthur

Add BP in a target group at account creation

Hello experts !
I'd like to know how in java or ABAP I could automatically add a BP in a target group when the account is created. The BP should after that use a campaign code associated with the target group, immediately after account creation.
Thank you for your help !
Julien

Hi Julien,
You will have to either create a custom program which gets triggered whenever there is any new BP created and then that program should execute the refresh of the target group.
Or you setup the frequency of the Target group refresh in background to to say hourly.
I am sorry i don;t see any other solution approach to this.

Target Group updation

I am new to SAP and want to know how to automatically update the target group without going to segment builder every time I assign the same attribute to new business partner.

Subash,
Actually in CRM 7.0 instead of master Groups they call it "Define Reports for Creating Segmentation Bases"
You can find this under SPRO-> CRM -> Marketing -> Segementation -> Define Reports for Creating Segmentation Bases
Read the documentation in there.

BAPI to build target group for segments

Hi all,
I looking for a BAPI that builds target group for segments and not for profile sets.
Transaction CRMD_MKTSEG allows to create TG in two ways :
- Build for Profile SET
- Build for Selected segment
BAPI_TARGETGROUP_CREATE is like u201CBuild for Profile SETu201D, since it requires a profile set guid as input
I have not found anything to u201CBuild for Selected segmentu201D, putting as input only a Profile.
The reason is that I need to "refresh" every day the target group and it is possible only if I create a TG for segment and not for profile set. In this second case the TG is frozen and no more refreshable,
Thanks.
regards
Emanuele

Hi Emanuele,
There are three types of Segments:- Profile Sets, Target Groups, Profiles.
(You can check this yourself:- Go inside Find segments, then choose Advanced Search. You will get option to find Marketing Segments based on whether they are Profile sets or Target Groups or Profiles )
It means Profile Sets is also a type of Segment. So i am bit confused with your question.
If i understand your question correctly, you simply want to create a target group which should be refreshed automatically on a daily basis.
You can very well achieve this daily refresh by building the Target Group in Background Mode. While creating a Target Group there are two modes possible :- 1)Build Target Group in Dialog Mode 2)In Background Mode.
So u need to build your Target group in background mode and While creating the Target Group in Background mode:-
Select the Checkbox "Active"
Do not select the checkbox "Modelling Completed".
Hope this helps in resolving your issues.

Randhir
