SuccessFactors Customer Provisioning Access & Certification, when??

I will apologise first for my rant....
I have seen and read numerous blogs and discussion and am still no further forward in understanding if, and when, as a customer we will be able manage our own application.
We are migrating from SAP HCM, an application that we have fully supported internally and have members of the team fully certified. As we migrate to SuccessFactors we find there is so much 'configuration' that we are not able to complete and are told we have to rely on partners for any changes, at additional cost to us!!
I actually have a member of my team who has completed the mastery course, gained his certification through an SAP Partner, but as he now works for a customer he is not allowed provisioning access, can someone please explain the logic in that.......? Do consultants miraculously lose the ability to support an application when they leave a partner, I think not so what is the issue?
As of yet no one has given me a consistent or meaningful reason why this policy is in place and as far as I can see can only be looked at as a way of protecting intellectual property and also generating revenue for partners.
Last year I was informed that provisioning would be opened up to customers throughout 2015 but have seen or heard nothing to date.
All of this is utter rubbish and I would like to know other customers views on this and what responses they have had. It would also be good to hear exactly from SAP why this policy is in place. Just being told that we can't do things is not acceptable.
Had we know this before we signed up to the application we may well have looked at other options.
Happy to be contacted if anyone would like to discuss things.
Steve - a very disgruntled customer....

Some key concerns. SAP are currently re-working their training programs, so expect some things to change for customers in the coming 12 months or so.
One thing to note is that SAP are SuccessFactors moving towards UI-based configuration. Employee Central, for instance, will be 100% configurable via the UI by the end of the year/start of next year. Other applications will move that way, but there's only so many development resources they can throw at it.
It would be good for customers to have access to Provisioning, but one issue right now is that all applications are configurable irrespective of the licenses held. Once this is tidied up then they can start opening up the backend to customers.
Keep the faith... things will come.
All the best,
Luke

Re: Former customer's access to online bill pay blocked - no way to pay last bill - Brilliant Verizon!

Branched from Former customer's access to online bill pay blocked - no way to pay last bill - Brilliant Verizon!
It is a brilliant move on Verizon's part - brilliant if the never want a customer to return. I've been a loyal customer for many years, but when I switched, not only was the guy I had given lots of sales over the years to in the mall a jerk to me when I asked for my account number, but when I tried to get a copy of my disconnected bill, it won't let you access it. Yes, you can, if you can find your flipping account number, pay your disconnected bill online. However, you will never find a copy of your bill. Why? Verizon wants to punish leaving customers so they can't get their ETF's paid by another company. This reminds me of the horrible AT&T days where they got so big they started treating everybody like crap. Blockbuster did the same thing. It will come back to haunt Verizon as everybody I know is fleeing their service. I give them credit, their phone service is superior in quality, but I will never go back because of the way I've been treated as I try to leave for a better deal since I am having financial difficulties this year. I might would have come back but not now. On top of that, they have a trick where they won't port out one number of the set you are trying to port. When you finally get through on the line to get it shut off, they tell you they can't turn it off until the next billing cycle. So though I shut off all the phones but one - one week into the billing cycle, I got charged for ALL 5 phones for the entire month. This because they insisted they couldn't shut off that final $20 per month phone. After three dropped calls that took me 20 minutes each to get through to a live person, they then told me they could have shut it off and their employee told me wrong. They said they'd send it for "Review" after which - you guessed it - I'm supposed to "Call back" - an act of God and congress and taking a day off work so I can keep trying and keep sitting on hold forever later.... I'll let you know what happens. I'm telling everyone I know, like I did with AT&T to NEVER do business with them. They used to be great, until they got big. So if anybody finds some way to get their final bill, I'd love to know because I've spent hours on the phone and online trying.

Did you not get the final copy of the bill in the mail via United States Postal Service?
What about older bills? Did you keep any paper copies? Download a PDF copy of the electronic bill at some point?

If you are able to open the same document earlier,then anonymous access enabled on your doc library then.
If you are facing this problem in first time,then you do not have required permission (may be custom permission level has been set ) on it.

Customer login access restricted to one site?

Hi there,
I'm trying to test the customer login access and I found something troubling. When giving access to more than one site I receive, "Username is in use by customer: John Fakename." What happens if my clients have more than one location? Is there a way around this? Please let me know. Thanks!

This may be a bit of longshot, but if your customer uses or is willing to use gmail (or google apps email) you could assign email addreses of [email protected] and [email protected] and [email protected] all the emails would go to the same inbox and can be assigned ad hoc, but the onplus system should recognize them as unique email addresses.
I have used this method to get around similar restrictions. Here is some more detailed info:

User settings to access network when logged on as service/batch

Hi.
We have been running Oracle Remote Agent (running external jobs on other host) on some linux-distros and have now started to do it on Windows as well.
But when we have setup everything properly, we get an 'Access denied' when trying to access the network from the Remote Host.
The way it works, in the database, you set up a credential with a user name and password. This information is then sent to the ETL (Remote Agent) which then starts the process as the user supplied in credentials.
So the service it self is running as Local Service and then starts a process as another user. Technically, how this is done on Windows I don't know...
Anyhow, the process starts fine and if we are not trying to access the network, it works fine.
But as soon as we are trying to access a network share using UNC path (\\192.168.1.10\share\directory), we get an 'Acces is denied'
The user we are using is an administrator. When doing a desktop login, this user can access the share without any problem.
Is there any other settings/policy/property the user must have to be able to access the network when logged on but not from the desktop?
Cheers
Richard

Have you checked the security logs on 192.168.1.10?
You should see the entries showing what account is attempting to log on through a network connect. You may need to grant the User Right for "Allow Access from Network" and you may be having basic folder permission errors.
I'm curious if the process is using the machine account to hit the share or if it's the user account you're starting the process with.

HT204053 Seems my iCloud password is not the same as my iTunes. Where do I go to reset my iCloud password? I cannot access anything when prompted to put in my iCloud password because I do NOT KNOW it. Thanks!

Seems my iCloud password is not the same as my iTunes. Where do I go to reset my iCloud password? I cannot access anything when prompted to put in my iCloud password because I do NOT know it. Thanks! I've used my iTunes password for everything else Apple does and would like to use the same one for my iCloud.

Do the following:
Make sure you are signed into iMessage and FaceTime with your current ID. If they are signed into the old ID, go to Settings>Messages>Send & Receive and Settings>FaceTime, tap the ID, sign out, then sign back in with your current ID.
Then temporarily recreate the old ID by going to https://appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID. Click edit next to the primary email account, change it back to your old email address and save the change. (You should not have to verify the old email account so it doesn’t matter if you no longer have access to it.) Now go to Settings>iCloud, turn off Find My iDevice and enter your current password when prompted (even though it prompts you for the password for your old ID). Then go to Settings>iCloud, tap Sign Out (or Delete Account if you are not running iOS 8) and choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted (your iCloud data will still be in iCloud). Next, go back to https://appleid.apple.com and change your primary email address back to the way it was. Now you can go to Settings>iCloud and sign back in with your current iCloud ID and password (your data will download back to your device).

I created a signature ID and customized the signature; however, when I go to sign it only shows the name layout or graphic image? How do I go back to using the certificate?

Dear Forum
I was using Adobe version XI and the signature feature disappeared from the menu. Now I downloaded Acrobat Reader DC. Using the menu and instructions I created a signature ID and customized the signature; however, when I go to sign a document it only shows the name layout or graphic image? How do I go back to using the certificate that I created?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

You need to follow the instructions in this article that best apply to your situation:
Forgot passcode for your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch, or your device is disabled - Apple Support
If you do not have a backup in either iCloud or iTunes, then you will have no way to retain the information on your device because you will have to restore it in order to access it again.

XMP data not showing up in the custom file info panels when upgraded to CC

For several versions of Photoshop, I have been able to use a modified custom file info panel to input, update, and track psd files. With each version of photoshop there are always some changes in the way the object data is handled. The lastest challenge is:
1. XMP data not showing up in the custom file info panels when upgraded CC from CS6.
2. Raw data is not visible in CC in the File info panel.
3. This occurs in new documents where we create the xmp wrapper while the file template is built.
4. When metadata is manually entered into the file, the data is not added to the XMP wrapper when it is recreated on the save.
5. When a file that was created in CS6 is opened that contains the Metadata in the file info template. It is visible. the Raw data is also visible. Once the XMP wrapper is recreated - write and then close. The data is no longer available. the Raw data will not pull up in the file info panel.
Any feedback or a direction will be appreciated.

I have a script that the user runs to input xmp data into a Customized version of the generic file info panel. it is data that is gathered from the user when the psd file is created. once the file is open in photoshop. the information is visible in the File info panel , the raw data, and as a schema addition in the advanced tab.
in CC the nodes and the children of the XMP packet have changed positions. so that the XML -this.XMP.child(0).appendChild(this.createNode())
is no longer the node that can be appended.
Where XML.child(0).elements().length(); would enable the xmlns to be added in CS6
<rdf:Description xmlns:phsa="' + this.namespace + '" xmlns:rdf="http://www.w3.org/1999/02/22-rdf-syntax-ns#" xmlns:x="adobe:ns:meta/" rdf:about="" />'
it is visible in CC as namespace in a different arrangement. XML.child(0).child(0).namespaceDeclarations().toString()) and the children are XML.child(0).child(0).elements().length().toString()); There are now 7 child nodes where before there were 1.
with all shifted, the initialize of the values and the delete XMP packet wrapper and create new or the amend to the XMP packet wrapper is undefined.

Photoshop cs4 access denied when trying to install from disc in Windows 7 64bit.

Photoshop cs4 access denied when trying to install from disc in Windows 7 64bit. I tried it in
safe mode and it starts to install but get an error there as well.
What do I do?

So when you put the disk in it won't run correctly? When the disk is inserted you should have a window pop up with 2 options. 1 to install and the other to see what is on the disk. Choose to explore or open the disk. Go to the CS4 folder where the photoshop .exe file is (that will run the setup), right click on the .exe file and choose run as Admin and it should start. See if it will install. If not then read below.
I am not sure how far you got in the install before so chances are you will have to run the CS4 cleanup utility. 2 levels to run at but don't use 1 or 2 just type in the number 3.
http://www.adobe.com/support/contact/cs4clean.html
You may need to run the windows installer cleanup utility too
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/290301
Before you try to reinstall the software ensure that adobe reader is not installed. If it is remove it. It has caused issues in the past with vista and CS4 installs.
Also turn off windows Defender and any anti-virus software. You can keep UAC on in Windows 7.
During the CS4 install at 90 percent it will almost stop and may take 5 to 10 mins to finish. This is normal. What a pain huh......
After install is finished, reboot
After reboot, go to the CS4 64 bit or 32 bit icon (depends on 32 or 64 bit Windows 7) in start area, right click on CS4 64 bit (if you have windows 7 64 bit) and choose properties, compatibility tab and then check run as Admin at the bottom area. Hit apply, ok to close out.
Now start CS4 and run the updater.

How to set Custom screen in ME21N when Payment Terms as particular value ?

Dear ABAP Experts,
                                     I created one Custom Tab under Header level in me21n using screen exit MM06E005.
                 It's working fine. but My requirement is, whenever user will select Payment term as '0001' in Delivery / Invoice Tab then my Custom tab will open in ME21N t-code . My Custom tab will have different input fields which are entered manually, those values will store in Custom table(Z-table) when the user press save button.
So, How to do this?

Hi,
The ME2xN transactions reads the user settings from table ESDUS using function module ES_READ_USER_SETTINGS, and save them at the end of the transaction using function module ES_APPEND_USER_SETTINGS.
You need to overwrite the displayed header tab number using ES_APPEND_USER_SETTINGS just at the beginning of the transaction. I think that a godd point to do this is in the subroutine INIT_TRANSACTION of report RM_MEPO_GUI. You can do this using the enhacement framework. I have tested it and it works for me. This is the code you should insert:
FORM init_transaction CHANGING ch_document        TYPE mepo_document
                               ch_exit            TYPE mmpur_bool
                               ch_requisitions    TYPE mereq_t_eban_mem
                               ch_requisition_acc TYPE mereq_t_ebkn.

How a custom component is called when we install a custom component in UCM.

How a custom component is called when we install a custom component in UCM.
On what event the component services will be activated and called.
Suppose i create a Custom service name MULTIPLECHECKIN then this service will be called on what event and where it will be defined to call.

Saurabh,
the code is packed in the component (see component\Security Filter\java\Security Filter\ModifyAttributesFilter.java - the first Security Filter is the component name, the other Security Filter is the Java package name).
What is important:
- your class must implement the FilterImplementor interface (you will need UCM standard classes - server.zip in your classpath) and its doFilter method
How the filter is executed?
- actually, in this case you don't need any new service - you can use the standard 'hook', which is provided by standard checkin services
- in Component Wizard create a new component, add your compiled class to it (make sure you follow the rules not to end up in classpath issues)
- in Component Wizard click the 'Java Code' tab. Here you can add a Custom filter called validateCheckinData, which is executed by standard checkin services. If you parametrize the filter to call your class created above, you are done.
'Working with Content Components' manual (e.g. here: http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E10316_01/cs/cs_doc_10/documentation/developer/using_components_10en.pdf) can give you a basic picture. A better resource is Bex Huff's book - I would recommend you to get it, because it has a step-by-step HelloWorld example which can guide you through Component Wizard. I could also send you my own component (send me an email at [email protected]) which implements a filter for user quotas, so you just need to "replace classes".
As for the other half of your task, searching for the file in the database server will work only if you use database as your storage (ie. install and configure File Store Provider component accordingly). Of course, you could do a search for file in this case - just consider that you will be comparing two BLOBs rather than two relatively short check-sums (most likely strings or arrays of bytes). Besides, it will not work if you use filesystem as your storage.

How come I can't access itunes when I could yesterday?

How come I can't access itunes when i could yesterday? When I hooked up my iphone to sync it asked me to reset phone to factory settings! I don't think so! Then when I tried to download update it won't do it.

On my iPod touch I don't have a spotlight search icon or option available. Also under my settings and general there is no "restriction" options or settings. I reset the iPod several times and that doesn't work.
The thing is the music that is on my iPod is not all in my iTunes library so I can never sync automatically. Also if i restore to factory settings then it will erase what i have on my iPod and not in my library. I always manually add songs. When I plug in my iPod and i go under Summary...the only other tabs are music, tv shows, photos and info. There is no Apps tab. When i plug in my iPhone i do get the apps tab.
I got my iTouch awhile ago....is it possible that this is why i can't get apps?? I got the iTouch back in 2008.
Ughhh this is so frustrating. I just want to get this one app on my iPod Touch. Please help!!
