Update an Activity using ELM (External List Management)

Hello,
Is it possible to CHANGE the status of an activity using ELM? I managed to create activities with ELM, but I wonder if I can change the status too.
Regards,
Jeroen

Hi Jeroen,
Use following funtion call with mentioned parameters
call function 'CRM_ORDER_MAINTAIN'
 exporting
 it_status = lt_status1
 changing
 ct_input_fields = lt_input_fields
 exceptions
 error_occurred = 1
 document_locked = 2
 no_change_allowed = 3
 no_authority = 4
 others = 5.
here in for parameter lt_status1 u can fill up your required status and then execute the FM.
After that execute FM BAPI_TRANSACTION_COMMIT.

External List Management - BP does not exist.

Hi,
I would like to use the external list management feature of CRM 7.0 to create Business Partner.
Its crucial for later processing steps to assign the ID from the data source as well. I included the
Field ORG_NUMBER respectivly PER_NUMBER in the mapping. The creating process stops with an error telling me
Businesspartner No. XYZ does not exist.
I've done a bit of research and did not find a solution yet. I would like to know whether it is technically possible to use the ELM to create Businesspartners with predefined IDs.
Regards, Arne

Hello,
This is indeed standard behavior: ORG_NUMBER and PER_NUMBER are used to update existing business partners only. You cannot use those fields to create business partners with external number range assignment.
Kindly check the following online help for more information:
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_crm70/helpdata/EN/46/32c47e043314dde10000000a155369/content.htm
Hence to acheive your requirement, you will have to create a new implementation of badi CRM_MKTLIST_BADI.
Kind regards,
Nicolas Busson.

Problem with External List Management; Business Partner Type

Hello experts;
I created a mapping format for importing a simple notepad file. In the ELM i see all my fields populated correctly. Once i start the importing process it goes smoothly with no mistakes at all (green lights). The bp is actually imported and i can see it in the BP transaction with most of the fields correctly imported BUT the business partner type (PERS_PERS_BPKIND in ELM). For this field i have a Constant Assignment which is always HH and because of that i don't have it in my notepad file but i pass the value directly from ELM constant assignement=HH. Unfortunately this value is not copied. Any idea? Am i doing something wrong or i'm loosing some steps in between?
Thank you very much

Hello,
the issue is most probably related to missing authorizations. As you know the processing in external list management happens in the background using WF-BATCH user.
Please check the following notes:

I recently purchased an old iMac G3 Macintosh. I was wondering, is there a way where I can update it without using an external disc? I've seen the newer Apple products with the dock, if I update my iMac G3, will it have that, and if so, how can I do that?

I was wondering, is there a way where I can update it without using an external disc?
If you mean the iMac does not have an internal optical drive capable of reading DVDs, the only option requires another Mac with a DVD-capable drive and FireWire ports. Your iMac G3 will also require FireWire ports. Not all G3 iMacs have Firewire. FW started with the Summer 2000 models with 400mHz and faster processors.
With FireWire, you can use FireWire Target Disk mode to install from a retail OS install DVD in another Mac. If you supplemental info info tells us if you have another Mac with a DVD reader and the FW ports, we can walk you through the process.
If the iMac has a tray-loading drive, I'd forget it. They are very limited not only in the OS max (10.3.9) but also in RAM capability. Starting with the slot-loading iMac G3s, the max RAM increased to 1 GB (2 X 512MB modlules). Tiger likes 1GB RAM.
Understand that pre-Intel Macs are getting harder to use. Even with 10.4.11, your choice of browsers is limited (TenFourFox is the most viable option) and the G3s rudimentary video hardware means web browsing will be choppy at best.
If you are in the USA, you can try calling the Apple Store (1-800-MY-APPLE) for an OS disk. As recently as Jan 20, someone posted here that they were able to buy Tiger by calling. It was not clear whether the disks were replacement system install/restore disks or full retail install, but it's a free call.
When you do "About this Mac" to check teh OS verion, also look at the processor speed and tell us what that says. That can help with recommendations for an upgrade path.

Add/update an item to an external list using Designer WF

Hi,
I have two lists (A & B). A- regular SharePoint list, B- External list.
Now, I have a Designer WF on A to add/update the items to the B. Unfortunately, SP 2013 killed the feature to update the external list directly using Designer WF 2013. However, I was able to use REST services to add/update item to the external list from
the browser either using Fiddler or Mozilla client side tools.So I thought I could use Designer HTTP call action to achieve this. But when I tried to use the HTTP call from the Designer WF, it won't add/update the items to B. I thought I was doing some
kind of mistake while doing that HTTP call, so I tried replacing the list guid to some other regular list and it works. Its not working for an external list but working for any regular list.
I'm not sure why I could not do that using the Designer while I can do it from browser. Can someone please help me out?
Thanks!
Thanks, Hitchs

How to use the BADI CRM_MKTLIST_BADI in External List Management?

Hi Experts,
I am using ELM tool to upload new accounts from an excel file. I need to do some coding before the BPs get created into CRM. This coding is for mapping some fields & doing a few validation checks. We have a BADI CRM_MKTLIST_BADI for this. But when I try to stop that BADI by putting breakpoints, it doesnot stop. I have assigned the required filter for my implementation of the BADI too. But somehow the breakpoint doesnot work & the control never stops in the BADI implementation. Could the experts out there please help me out in this as this is really urgent...
Points will be rewarded generously for helpful answers...
Thanks & Regards,
Sangeeta.

Hi Sangeeta,
Set the user parameter CRM_DEBUG_CODE to "MKLIST" for your user in SU3. Put a break-point in the BADI method.
This will call the debugger once the BADI is triggered.

Susanta

Prefix in the External list management

Hello experts;
I enhanced the elm in order to include new fields requested by the client. I used the solution described in help.sap.com so as all the fields requested are now in the mapping format functionality. Particularly i added to the table CRMD_MKTLIST_PER_EXT the fields PERS_BPEXT PERS_BPKIND PERS_PREFIX1 ...If for the first two i don't have problem at all the prefix is giving me some troubles. In the mapping once selected i'm not able to see in the Value assignment the possible values that shoulb be picked from the table TSAD4. This is very strange because for the BPKIND i don't have any problems and i have the values fished from the TB004.!.!
The only guessing i have is that the 200 entries of the TSAD4 could cause some issues...(Holland as a lot of possible prefixs)... Is that a reasonable explanation or there is something else i can check???
Thank you very much.
Fabio Rocca

Hi Alexander,
The external list generally uses the internal standard grouping, in case u have not assigned the PER_NUMBER or ORG_NUMBER int the mapping definition.
Use tcode: SPRO
SAP Implementation Guide->Cross-Application Components->SAP Business Partner->Business Partner->Basic Settings->Number Ranges and Groupings->Define Groupings and Assign Number Ranges.
Here which ever number range and grouping are marked as Int Std grouping will be picked up.If u wish to change the same, you can even do so.
Wish it helps.

External List Management - Issue in File Upload and Map

I am facing problem while maintaining external lists through ELM and executing step upload and map file for a tab separated text format file.
The file data is getting shown properly in file preview through mapping format but when I execute it through external list the data is not getting uploaded at all.The log is not showing me any error or reason for the same.
I want to know apart from basic ELM config, is there some other configuartion required to enable ELM to upload and map the file in turn.

Pratyasha Shishodia

I got the resolution to this answer.
The issue was the task under ELM workflow was not marked for background processing and hence it was always in ready state and never proceeded ahead thru ELM transaction.All the steps due to this reason were shown in planned or ready state.
There was no error in ELM as everything in the system had no issues and hence nothing came in error log.

LEADS NOT GETTING CREATED USING EXTERNAL LIST MANAGEMENT (ELM)

Hi Folks,
We are trying to create leads via ELM.
When ELM is executed records are getting uploaded,BP's are created.But leads are not getting created.
Pls find attachments for mapping format attached to ELM.
Assignment block Process steps is as shown below:
We tried n number of times to create leads but its not happening.
Pls suggest how to resolve the same.
Any help is highly appreciated.
Regards
Jaya

Hi Kavindra,
Below mentioned is the screenshot of badi debugging.
Our technical consultant analysed the scenario and found out that Lead transaction data is not filling in standard and no data is coming into method create_business_transaction where Leads will be created based on the input data and says this has to fill in standard if all the mapping fields and data uploading is correct.
Pls suggest exactly where we are going wrong.
Pls let me know if u need any further info from my side.

External List Management - marketing List upload giving a short dump

Hello All,
In CRM Marketing ELM, when we try to upload an external data list, the system throws a short dump where it is not able to read the RFC destination WORFLOW_LOCAL_100. We have set this RFC destination as an ABAP Driver RFC in SM59, but do not reach to any positive results.
Any clues to anyone out there?

Thanks.
We could solve it at our end. A new RFC destination as WORKFLOW_LOCAL_100 is defined as a Logical Connection.

External List Management

According to the SAP Best Practice Guide for Campaign Management the file Y_External_List.csv for uploading external addresses is on the Best Practices CD.
Can anyone tell me either where I can obtain a copy of this file from or better still where I can get the best practices documentation CD's from?
I have looked on help.sap.com/bestpractices as well as service.sap.com/bestpractices but can only seem to find R/3 relevant documentation.
Many Thanks
David

Found it.

I've update my music using an external disk; now I uploaded agin the music but it doesn't appear in Itunes. How can I synchronize the music folder with Itunes?

I've managed my music downloading and uploading it from an external disk; I put the music into the Finder MUSIC folder and copyed it into Itubìnes but it does't appear. What Do I have to do? How can I synchronize the Musice Folder with Itunes?

Chris, thanks for the reply.
That's what I'm confused about. I did exactly what you said. I copied the entire music folder from the old computer and put it in the music folder on the new computer. I've tried that two or three times now. And, I've checked, and all of the files are there (that's what I meant by 'clicking on Itunes Media'--when I click on the iTunes media folder in music/itunes in Finder, all of the files are there). But, when I open iTunes, nothing shows up--no movies, no music, no tv shows. It seems like it should be so simple, but it won't work for me.
Any ideas?
Thanks so much.
