Target groups

Hello,
I have to create different target groups. How can I merge two target groups to one?
I need this because I created a target group of account with different criterias. Then I created a target group of the related contact persons. This target group I want to merge with another target group.
Thanks

Hi Srini,
your Link is pointing to Transaction Templates. I think you wanted to point to [Target Groups|http://help.sap.com/saphelp_crm50/helpdata/en/dc/ed0b3bcbe24b74e10000000a114084/frameset.htm].
Phillip: You can create a new Profile group and then drag & drop your previously created Target groups into that Profile. Then you can create a Target Group for the Profile group.

How to create the said Target group ???
Regards,
Dipesh

Hi,
You can try this alternative solution:-
Instead of maintaining vehicle type etc in Z table, please crate it as "attribute", and assign it to Business Partners.
You can use CRMD_PROF_BP transaction to assign Attributes to Business partners.
Based on the attributes , you can subsequently create the "target group".

How to retrieve Business Partners Per Target group

Hi experts!!!
I am new to CRM development and i need to find the tables related to the target group.
So far i have only found some tables that hold the T.G. GUID, but i cannot understand how these are connected among them.
The requirement i have is to retrieve all the bussiness partners related to a specific target group.
So in the selection screen i should use the target group. (Which field is that??)
Please help!!!
Thank u in advance!!!

HI Grigoria,
The tables that hold the information that you have requested for is as follows:
Assuming you found the TG GUID for which you are trying to find the BP's inside it
Go to Table CRMD_IM_ML_HEAD
Paste the TG Guid value in the TARGETGRP_GUID field.This would return you "ML_GUID_H" value.
Take this Guid value and go to table "CRMD_IM_ML_ITEM"
Paste the ML_GUID_H value from the previous table in the field "ML_GUID_H" of the above table.
This will return all the BP Guids associated in that TG , which you can convert into the BP # using an FM or from the table BUT000
Hope this Help's

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.

Creating a target group based on the BP email address only in CRM

Hi there,
I am currently trying to create a target group based on the business partner email address only.
I have a list of over 1000 email addresses - these email addresses equate to a BP in our CRM system, however I do not have a list of the equivalent business partner numbers, all I have to work on are the email addresses. With these 1000 BP email addresses I need to update the marketing attributes of each of these 1000 BP records in CRM.
What I need is a method to find the 1000 BP numbers based on the email addresses and then use the marketing expert tool (tx. CRMD_MKT_TOOLS) to change the marketing attributes on all of the 1000 BPs.
The issue I am having is how can I find the list of BP numbers just based on the BP email address, I tried creating an infoset based on table BUT000, BUT020 and ADR6 but I after creating attribute list & data source for this I am stuck on what to do next. In the attribute list the selection criteria does not allow me to import a file for the selection range. I can only enter a value but I have 1000 email addresses and cannot possibly email them manually in the filter for the attribute list.   I also looked at imported a file into the target group but I do not have any BP numbers so this will not work.
Does anyone know a method where I can create a target group based on the email addresses only without having to do any code?
Any help would be most appreciated.
Kind regard

Need to change the targeting group of a Rule or monitor after a alert is created.

Hi All,
I have created many alerts and they are working fine. Currently due to business requirement we have installed Windows server 2012 operating systems in our production environment. But we have targeted the
"Windows server 2008 r2 full operation system" group as per the below screen shot. As we now have to import the management pack for Windows server 2012 as well.
What we have planned is to change the targeting group from "Windows server 2008 r2 full operation system"
to "Windows server operating system group" so the alert / monitor or rule will target all windows server which has been discovered in SCOM rather that only the servers running Windows server 2008 r2.
I was also not able to set overrides for this as that server was not coming under Windows server 2008 r2 full operation system as it was a Windows server 2012 agent.
I can also go ahead and create new alerts but i have created custom of 1000 alerts and i cannot go ahead and re create them.
Is there any way to change them. If yes Can i do a bulk change via powershell ?
Below is the screenshot of what i really want. Can any on e please help.
Gautam.75801

You can't really change the target class of a monitor in a sealed vendor pack. If this is your own custom pack, then you can change the target class no problem, but this would need to be done on the unsealed XML (using VSAE or some other authoring tool).
Then you can seal the pack and re-import (should be upgrade compatible, since you are just changing the target).
I'm not familiar with this particular monitor in your screenshot, but it looks like this should probably target Exchange? If this is the case, then I would recommend targeting the closest typed class that the monitor should run against. In this case, some
type of Exchange class that is already in the Exchange management pack.
Otherwise, you can also create your own custom class for targeting, which I describe in detail on my blog.
Here are all my sample VSAE fragments.
Here is an example of
using the Application Component base for your new class.
Here is an example of
using Local Application base for your new class.

Authorization Error while exporting a target group to local file

Dear All,
When we tried to export a created target group to local file, system gave an error message: "Authorization required. See SAP Note: 697572".
In this note, it tells that we should add certain authorization entries into the Java policy file under: \lib\security. It mentioned:
Authorization              Target name       Action
RuntimePermission                                modifyThread
PropertyPermission        user.dir           read
FilePermission            <<ALL FILES>>   read
FilePermission            <<ALL FILES>>    write
RuntimePermission                                  shutdownHooks
And what we put into the policy file is as below:
     permission java.util.PropertyPermission "user.dir", "read";
     permission java.util.FilePermission "ALL FILES", "read";
     permission java.util.FilePermission "ALL FILES", "write";
     permission java.util.RuntimePermission "modifyThread";
     permission java.util.RuntimePermission "shutdownHooks";
We are not sure about whether we should put <<ALL FILES>> or ALL FILES, but tried both way and still didn't work.
Could you please share your experience on this?
Thanks!

Tried again and it worked.

Change Management and Target Group in STMS

Hello, We use the Change Management (SolMan 4.0). Up to now it works fine. We deliver always one client in the System (E33.002; T33.002 and P33.002). Now we try to change this. We will deliver more than one client in every system at the same time (to have always the same status in every client). So we use Target groups in STMS. This works fine if I do the transports manualy. But if I try to do it with the change management it doesn't work. The change management still deliver one client (002).
Can someone give me a hint?

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

Enhance output of Target Group opened in segment builder

Hello Experts,
We are implementing SAP CRM Lean Marketing using CRM 7.0. Our business requirement is to do segmentation based on Company attributes and Relationship Category. The output of the target group should enlist the persons related to the Company based on the relationship category selected while doing the segmentation.
Using standard InfoSet CORM_MKTTG_BP_ORG_CDE and while creating data source selecting BUT000_PER-PARTNER_GUID in the field business partner, we are able to get the list of persons matching the segmentation query (based on the relationship category e.g. Has Supplier, Has Contact Person, etc) . But the issue is , the output of the target group (shown as an ALV grid , when the target group is opened in segment builder) only enlists matching Persons, it does not enlist the related company ID /name in front of the Person ID in the output of the target group. And this Company BP ID is not available if I try to modify the output layout. So business is unable to understand the Person enlisted in TG belongs to which Company. Can we enhance this ALV grid output of the target group displayed in segment builder ? if yes , how can it be achieved ? If this is possible and we are able to add related company BP ID/ name in front of every person enlisted in the target group then our issue gets resolved. Or is there any alternative solution to resolve this issue ?
Highly appreciate your early response in order to resolve this critical issue.

Naresh,
Thanks for the response.
As per your suggestion I made additions to my z Infoset , and added all the fields you suggested.
While creating the data source I selected following fields
Business Partner: BUT000_PER-PARTNER_GUID (as my requirement is to return Persons and this field works with only GUID)
Reference Object: BUT051-RELNR
Reference Object Type: BUT051-RELTYP
Now when I create the target group with this data source unfortunately I am still not getting the the relationship number when I click in Show assigned Objects in the target group screen of web UI.
Please suggest where I am going wrong
Thanks

Hello Experts,
We tried implementing BADI CRM_MKTTG_SEG_MEM_EX in order to add Company ID/ Name , but the issue is the BADI gets Input as persons BP id, nothing else, due to this if a person is having relationships with multiple companies, the BADI is unable to identify which company to choose as Relationship Category is not available to the BADI. And further issue is if a Person is having same relationship category with 2 companies e.g. Supplier for company A and for Company B too , in this case too the BADI is unable identify correct Company to return to the target group output
Is there someting in the Infoset that can resolve our issue ? How can I make available the fields in the infoset to the ALV output of the target group. Using SQ02 I am able to add fields to the field groups for selection in segmentation, but can anyone guide, how to make the field available in the output list ?
Please provide your technical assistance

sreedhar

Hi Manohar,
You can use below methods
1. Using BI query (BI Cube) :
Create a BI query for the sales orders with value field and BP GUID and create a data source using the BI cube with BP as BP GUID.
2. Using Marketing attribute:
Create a Marketing attribute as Sales Volume (for exp) and update this marketing attribute with the total value of the sales order + exsting value in the marketing attribute which gives the total cumilative value of the sales done so far by that particular BP.
To achieve this you may have use the breakpoint in the sales order and code for the updation of markeing attribute of sold party partner function BP.
Create a data souce using the above attribute set.
We have used 2nd method for our purpose.
Please let me know if you have any further queries.
Reward points if it helps.

Extension of target group member list

Hi,
does anybody know a guide or something else in which way i have to define additional fields for displaying target group member list?

Member of Target Group: Contact record updated

We are creating a target group for a Campaign and several of the contacts had to be updated (changed Companies "Account" for instance) and the new data for that contact is not reflected on Members list, shows old data (old Company "Account").
Without removing the member and re-adding, are we missing something or once they are added it holds the old data?
We can find this down the road to be cumbersome when copying target groups and/or when using the same target group for other campaigns
if a contact record is updated and the information is not matching to the member data.
Any insight appreciated!

Hi Gina,
once the members are added to a group and after if you do any changes on the master data these changes wont reflect in the group already created, you should remove and save the group after again add back this time the new changed data will be updated.
hope this clarify your issue.

Suresh

Synchronization of Target Group with BW

In SAP Library, it is mentioned that "To keep target group information in the BW System up-to-date, CRM and BW must be synchronized. You activate this synchronization by choosing the Synchronization with BW indicator from the properties of the target group. "

Can someone please help.
