Use of Assignment tab in Data Manager

Hi,
Can someone give me some real time example of using Assignment tab in data manager and what is the need of assignment.
In Data manager guide it's written that : "Instead of retuning boolean value, we can use any data type and we can assign this value to user editable field" ... Can some one explain me with example?
I also want to know "Is it possible to define assigment in Data Manager and on the basis of users i can assign this assigments with the help of workflow?
Thanks in advance,

Assignments provide users a convenient way to fill in fields.
You can set values for a certain field using the "Assignment" workflow step.
Eg: Approval Status
You can set the value for the field "Approval Status" based on certain other fields.
Several assignments for the same field can be defined.
Assignments are selected during runtime to calcualte the field value.
You have to be in Record mode to create Assignments.
Select the table for which you want to define the assignment.
The assignment is later bound to this table which is unchangeable.
Hope this helps.

MDM Console
The MDM Console allows the system manager to administer and monitor the MDM Server, and to create, maintain the structure of, and control access to the MDM repositories themselves. Records are not entered or managed with the MDM Console, but rather with client apps such as the MDM Client.
MDM Client(data manager)
The MDM Client is the primary client of the MDM Server, and is the program most users see on their PCs. It allows users to store, manage and update master data consisting of text, images, and other rich content, and to create taxonomies, families, and relationships. Other clients include the Import Manager, the Image Manager, and the Syndicator.
Import Manager
Allows you to import master data from most types of flat or relational electronic
source files (e.g. Excel, delimited text, SQL, XML, and any ODBC-compliant source),
and to restructure, cleanse, and normalize master data as part of the import process.
<i>2. How the 3 is interlinked</i>
--->
Suppose you are sending vendor information to MDM repository be sending IDOC from R/3. Then the whole process can go as... IDOC will be sent to XI, so XI will generate XML file that contains data. Then import manager can import this file and will so place the data in repository.
Now if you want to send data in MDM repository, the process goes reverse way. Syndicator will generate flat/xml file. This file will be given to XI so that XI will generate IDOC out of it and will send it to XI. This whole process ensures data consistancy

Installing WorkFlow with ARES, Form Manager and Forms

Hi All,
I'm having issues when trying to install WorkFlow with ARES, Form Manager and Forms.
I've followed these steps:
1. Installed Forms v. 7.1
2. Installed Form Manager v. 7.0.1
3. Installed ARES v. 7.0 (using a trust directory with a keyfile, etc.)
4. Installed Workflow v. 7.0.1 with Turnkey option checked.
5. Ran configuration manager.
The progress gets to 12% then displays the error code "LCMerror101" with the message "Livecycle module pdfagent-client could not be copied to working directory".
I don't know what this error means, can someone help me?? I know the issue isn't related to disk space (20+ gigs free) and I'm using the administrator account to install. Any suggestions or tidbits of info would be much appreciated.
Thanks,
Stone.

What is the relation between delivery num , sales order num and invoice

what is the relation between delivery num , sales order num and invoice

Look at VBFA Table
goto VBFA table ,enter order number number vbelv ,vbtyp_n is C,then VBELN is the delivery
if you enter delivery number in vbelv ,vbtyp_n is J,then vbeln is Invoice.
here VBTYP_N is the import.
VBFA is the sales document flow table,and very important table

Create one workflow ( 2 level approval - manager and financial manager). An

Hi
I have requirement to Create one workflow ( *2 level approval - manager and financial manager).* And escalate it after 1 day to Financial manager's supervisor
I have no idea about escalation through BPEL Compoiste in OIM
Can please any help me out

The status can be alerted and the task assigned to weblogic due to a fault in your process. Without looking at your process or the exception, it can be difficult to say what went wrong, but check if you have the user in the system to whom you are trying to assign the task to.
As for escalation, you need to go through that link to configure escalations and in escalations you can select management chain as the route. This would escalate it to manager's manager if the manager does not work on the request for specified time. For other requirements around escalation, you will have to first get a basics right and working for you. Once you are done with that, you can post here any questions which you might have about making the complex ones and we can try to help.

Data Federator and Information Design tool

Hi,
First, Can Data Federator be a single data source for Information Design Tool?
Second, from performance point of view, using Information Design tool to build multi-sources Universe or building Universe on Data Federator, which way is better?
Thanks

Hi,
let me explain :
in BI 4.0, the Data Federator Query Server engine is now part of the server-side Adaptive Processing Server .
You only invoke this architecture when you select "Multi Source Enabled" - any other entry point is NOT using the Data Federation Service.
So - if you select SingleSource - that's not using DF.
However, it is entirely possible to select "Multi Source Enabled" then only use 1 connection in the MSU !!
Having said the above, Your second question doesn't make sense.
Unless you mean, using the Data Federator middleware driver in BI 4.0 IDT, to connect to an XI 3.1 Data Federator Query Server? (i.e. consuming the 'old source' in the new enviornment)
This backwards compatibility was delivered to facilitate transition of DF customers, especially since there is no standalone DF product in BI 4.0 (yet)
I trust this is of use to you.

H

What is the relation between object work area (EH&S) and Work Center (PP)

Hi gurus,
I have a conceptual doubt, about the relation when I clasify like work center an object WA of IHS and how this feature is asociated at object work center of module PP?
Conceptually is the same?
Thank and Best regards

Hello Hernan
the Work Area is defined as: take a look here
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_47x200/helpdata/en/1f/ea8e69e09311d3b5700004ac160be0/content.htm
Therefore there is a link available between work area, plant and cost center.
Work Center is defined as: take a look here:
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_46c/helpdata/en/b1/c03424439a11d189410000e829fbbd/content.htm
Work centers are business objects that can represent the following real work centers, for example:
Machines, machine groups
Production lines
Assembly work centers
Employees, groups of employees
To my knowledge there is no "direct" link between these objects.
Further on on the level of the Work Area (to my knowledge) you define: which employee etc. is linked to the work area ((is working in the work area).
So to my knowledge there are a number of "indirect" links between both objects but no direct link
With best regards
C.B.
PS: http://fuller.mit.edu/ehs/ind_hygiene_safety.htm provides a further small overview of the Work Area Topic (EHS IHS)

Best practise in SAP BW master data management and transport

Hi sap bw gurus,
I like to know what is the best practise in sap bw master data transport. For example, if I updated my attributes in development, what are the 'required only' bw objects should I transport?
Appreciate advice.
Thank you,

Hi Vishnu,
Thanks for the reply but that answer may be suitable if I'm implementing a new BW system. What I'm looking for is more on daily operational maintenance and transport (a BW systems that has gone live awhile).

hi ,
1. U need to create export datasource for source Cube and then setup connection b/w both the system, create source system in Target system . then follow the normal process of assigning to Infosource ,TRansfer rules etc.
2. You can delete the data in Cubes either by selective deletion or by deleting the Requests if Cube not compressed.
3. Check Archving Topic in Help .sap .com , reload depends where data is archived , Below link says how to reload from Archive files .
<a href="http://help.sap.com/saphelp_bw33/helpdata/en/9b/91c53b03847b26e10000000a114084/frameset.htm">http://help.sap.com/saphelp_bw33/helpdata/en/9b/91c53b03847b26e10000000a114084/frameset.htm</a>

What is the Relation between SAP EP, SAP R/3 and any database

Hi ALL,
I am learning SAP EP,Webdynpro
Previously I have worked on IBM WebSphere Portal for installation and configuration test purpose on different operating systems.
In case of IBM webSphere Portal
1. There is a default database named as Cloudspace
2. I had configured WebSphere Portal with different databases(Oracle,sql,DB2) just by modifing some portal installation files.
Similarly in case of SAP Enterprise Portal
1. Is there any default database.
2. How can we configure the portal with different databases(Oracle,sql,DB2)
3. Why the SAP R/3 comes into the picture in case of SAP EP
4. can we communicate to any database(Oracle,sql,DB2) through NetWeaver Developer Studio by writing any code or by setting any fields.
Please help out me
Regards
Seshu

Hi! Sesshanna,
   Welcome to SAP Enterprise Portal.
1.Like IBM webSphere Portal,SAP EP is also have a default DataBase Named MaxDB, this database comes with portal installer and you need to install this DataBase as well.
2.you will get a lots of document on SDN to configure the databases like(Oracle,sql,DB2), you need to make an entry in Visual Administrator(go.bat).But if you want to use DataBase in standalone application then you can use the same code which generally we use in any Java Code(Code written in point 4).
3.You can use SAP R/3 as BackEnd to access R/3 RFC in WebDynpro application, which is used to develop any customized application.
4.you can write the following code in any view or controller of the NWDS:--
MessageManager msgMgr = (MessageManager)wdThis.wdGetAPI().
getComponent().getMessageManager();
                String serverName = "172.21.1.62";
     String portNumber = "1526";
     String sid = "vision";
String url = "jdbc:oracle:thin:@" + serverName + ":" + portNumber + ":" + sid;
     String userName = "scott";
     String password = "tiger";
     Connection connection = null;
     try {
      // Load the JDBC driver
     String driverName = "oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver";
     Class.forName(driverName);
     connection = DriverManager.getConnection(url, userName, password);
     Statement stmt =connection.createStatement();
ResultSet resultSet = stmt.executeQuery("select * from patni_employee");
        if(resultSet.next()) {
          msgMgr.reportWarning(resultSet.getString(1));
          msgMgr.reportWarning(resultSet.getString(2));
     } catch(Exception exc) {
      exc.printStackTrace();

Xfce4-power-manager and laptop-mode-tools + backlight problems.

Cross posted from here: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=127992
I don't know which forum it belongs to, so maybe a mod can close the one in the wrong forum.
Out of curiosity, do these two tools conflict with each other? There seems to be some features that do the same thing, ie harddrive spin down time, but I'm not sure if these two will try to kill each other trying to configure the same power settings. If they do conflict, how could I go about disabling the conflicting parts (on either)? laptop-mode-tools claims it needs acpid "for ACPI support", however, acpid seems to be grabbing the standby event and throwing the laptop in standby despite the standby button bound to do nothing in xfce-power-manager. If I take out acpid, does that mean laptop-mode will no longer detect acpi events such as connecting/disconnecting AC power and thus not change modes when its plugged in?
Another problem I've had after installing xfce4-power-manager is that when I use the brightness hotkeys the backlight gets stuck and starts flashing, locking up the system until I force shutdown. However, I can use the brightness plugin without trouble at all. What's causing the power manager to screw up setting the brightness since it clearly seems to work otherwise.

It is easier to close this one and move the other thread over here. Just continue there.
BTW better use the Report button when you want to have a thread of yours moved to another forum. That way it is guaranteed a mod will see this in time. And you never need to cross post.

Workflow tab disabled in Data Manager

Hi SDNers,
In Data Manager, in record mode the <b>workflow</b> tab is disabled (greyed),
I am logged in as Administrator, tell me if some authority or role settings are to be checked?
Thanks,
Gautam.

Gautam,
The workflow component to install is included with the GUI Clients and named MDMWorkflowInstall_Ver5.5??.exe. You will need to install this on each client PC running the Data Manager which you want the Workflow tab to be active on.
Visio is only needed to create the actual workflows. Only users who will create workflows need Visio. Other users that will only be included in the workflow processes do not need to have Visio if they will not be creating workflows.

Tim
