Update secure zone expiry dates with an import

We are trying to update Secure Zone Expiry dates for customers via an import but the problem is when we create a report for Users and Secure Zones there is no field for 'Username' and from what I understand if we leave this blank when importing then the information will be deleted.

What a process this has been! Has anyone else found it difficult or is it just me?
Maybe there is an easier way, I'd love to know if that is the case.
If anyone is interested this was my experience in updating the Secure Zone Expiry dates for customers.
Export a report of all members (Select Users and Secure Zones) and filter by Secure Zone.
Export a report of all customers and make sure to select the field 'Username' (This is not available in the Users and Secure Zone report, how crazy is that!).
In Excel, merge the 2 reports to get usernnames for the members. Here is a good tutorial on how to do this Vlookup Excel Best - YouTube or Merge two excel files using a common column - Super User
After merging and cleaning up the data, copy to an import template and save as csv file.
Make sure that the date format in your Expiry dates are in the correct format ie 20-Feb-2020 (check in a text editor as excel can be tricky).
Import via advanced contact import and make sure to select the secure zone in checklist below or the date will not change.
Easy isn't it, ha.
If Adobe are listening, please add the 'Username' field to the Users and Secure Zone reports, this would save a lot of work.

Setting a secure zone expiry date beyond the invoice date.

Is it possible to set the secure zone expiry date later than the invoice date? We're just looking at a way to let our members continue to have access for say 1 week after an invoice has failed so that they can log in and update their credit card details, possibly without seeing the 'access expired' message.
I've seen this behaviour on a site before, but I think that may have had something to do with the fact that it was a weekly membership site and that the invoices were already generated.
Cheers
Pat

Hey Gaurav,
This is for a monthly recurring subscription. What I was thinking was that if for example a user signed up on the 1st of the month that their SZ access expires on the 8th of the next month, but the invoice is still issued and paid on the 1st of the following month, and when the invoice is successfully paid the SZ access gets extended till the 8th of the next month - now that I've written it out like that I'm pretty sure this isn't possible, unless there is some setting that dev can see in the backend?

Secure Zone expiry by article value not by date

Hello Everyone,
We have been researching the BC tools along with Muse and love what we have found so far.
One request/feature we would like to explore...
Is it possible to calculate a members Secure Zone expiry by value rather than by date?
The reason I am asking is because a request has been raised that:
We apply a 'value/points' to a page/article (e.g. 2 points for a small article and 10 points for a long report).
When a member views the page, that 'value' is deducted from their 'total points' .
As a member uses up their pre purchased 'points' they would need to purchase more to see more articles in the secure zone.
Any comments on feasibility or other solutions are welcome.
Thanks in advance for any help in this matter.
Cheers
James

You can not do this in BC out of the box and 100% not through Muse.
You would have to build a combo of custom CRM fields for logged in users and possible API work to know total point values of content etc. But then if they are things like pages, blog, web apps the new API's are not for external API access just yet.

Extracting secure zone expiration date to be used for webapps

Hi all,
Is it possible to extract the secure zone expiration date and use it to set the expiration date for webapps? I see that the expiration date of secure zones can be extracted through the email section, and not other places. globals.user doesn't output the expiration date either.
All that I need is the number of days so that i can automatically put the day into the Set Webapp to Expire in __ days.
Unless the webapps automatically deletes itself when users are booted out of secure zones?

I've found the module which gives the expiry date of the secure zone ie. {module_subscriptions render="collection" collection="subscriptions"}.
The output is:
"moduleName": "subscriptions",
"moduleDescriptor": {
"templatePath": null,
"parameters": "render=\"collection\",collection=\"subscriptions\"",
"apiEndpoint": "/api/v3/subscriptions",
"objectType": "-1",
"objectId": "-1",
"adminUrl": ""
"items": [
"entityId": 11421300,
"zoneId": 51,
"zoneName": "Member Only Area",
"expiryDate": "2015-04-30T00:00:00",
"sellAccess": "false",
"costPerPeriod": 0.0,
"cycleType": ""
"params": {
"render": "collection",
"collection": "subscriptions"
When I use {{subscriptions.items.expiryDate}}, it doesnt output any value. I suspect that this is due to the [] encasing the items sub-information. How can I extract this information for use?

Why can't I update my Garmin GPS data with version 5?

I'm trying to update my Garmin GPS data and Firefox 5 isn't compatible!!!! This is very upsetting. I DO NOT like version 5. I can't get the Lexmark toolbar, either. I wrote to Firefox about wanting to switch back to version 4, along with a lot of other people. I want to download version 4 and update my GPS!!!!!!!

Try using this extension to force compatibility.
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/add-on-compatibility-reporter/
Check and tell if its working.
IF the problem persists install earlier versions from ftp://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/firefox/releases/

How do I redirect a secure zone login form with javascript?

I would like to redirect what page a user goes to after filling out the secure log in form. I would change the landing page of the secure zone, but I need a log in form to go to a different page of the site. I would also create a seperate secure zone, but I have almost 3000 subscribers and it would be very time consuming to add all those users to this new zone.
I would like to redirect the user (using the form from a secure zone) to a different page other than the landing page of the log in form. How do I do this with javascript?
I saw this page: http://kb.worldsecuresystems.com/598/bc_598.html#main_Logging_into_different_Secure_Zones_ according_to_ID_number but couldn't make sense of it for my current situation. (I don't need multiple zones, just the form to redirect to a different page after submission)

            <div class="form">
            <div class="item"><label for="SZUsername">Username</label><br />

                        if (why != ""){alert(why);
                            return false;
                   // Add the redirect code here?
                    theForm.submit();

                //]]>
            </script>
        </form>

I've been working on the same thing and have nearly solved it with these tutorials:
http://www.bcgurus.com/tutorials/re-directing-users-to-the-correct-secure-zone
http://www.bcgurus.com/tutorials/building-a-better-secure-zone-login-page
The first tutorial will let a person continue on to the page he/she was attempting to access. For example, if your site offers learning lessons in a secure zone... A visitor could click on a lesson, get prompted to login and then be redirected to that particular lesson instead of the landing page for the secure zone. The script in the tutorial also accommodates general logging in: "if the person wasn't going somewhere specific then send him/her here (landing page, user account, whatever).
Might be worth checking out the free BCGurus trial or joining for a month.

Update GL accounts (historical data) with new Business Area values

Hi experts,
Situation:
One company code with multiple plants already productive w/o Business Area.
Business Area would be implemented soon to internally differenciate the company code.
What is needed:
To update with various values the GL account balances with a proper Business Area, as required, for instance starting on a new year. Something like executing a balance carry forward and be able to add the business area.
Purpose:
For internal analysis and reporting to be able to compare data without having to deal with historical data having the field Buisness Area 'blank' .
Question:
Does any body knows if a tool or program is available to do so?
Your responses are greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
GG

Hi,
this message cannot be changed (OBA5) nor a new analysis period for the costcenter is helpful if any plan / actual data is posted already in this fiscal year.
If its not only test data (which can be deleted and than the change can be done) the only way is to add the business area in cost center master by maintaining CSKS-table directly if you are allowed to do so...
If there are balance sheet items (eg assets assigned to such a cost center, the balance sheet postings from asset accounting are posted with the busines area from cost center master) you have to repost them in GL accounting otherwise business area wise balance sheet is wrong.
Best regards, Christian

Still no option to update credit card expiry date

I have a Skype Number, paid for until October. My credit card used to pay for it expires at the end of August (as Skype keeps telling me) so Skype is threatening to cut off the service as of September 1st.
There is no option to update the credit card info without buying call credit. I do not want or need call credit.
Other threads have raised this issue but there's still no satisfactory fix from Skype. I suggest other dissatisfied users keep posting about this problem in new threads until Skype does something about it.

Going through this frustration myself. Just about every other online sales company allows you to get in and change a few details to update. Not on Skype though. Just the stress of going round in circles trying to do something easy the hard way and that includes the FAQ's on this no joy there either.
I hate to complain about an otherwise effective service. But I have to, I just can't understand this logic defying lack of capability, unless it's to squeeze another £ out of you to verify the card you are already using.

Easy isn't it, ha.
If Adobe are listening, please add the 'Username' field to the Users and Secure Zone reports, this would save a lot of work.

BAPI_GOODSMVT_CREATE - Batch Expiry Date......

HI Im,
using this BAPI to post a goods movement from one location to another in the same plant.
The stock is being posted to a specific Batch. When I do this the material document gets created okay and the stock moves.
The problem is that the batch expiry date is not updating. The stock I'm moving has a later expiry date than the current date. If I do this manually in MIGO it works fine and updates the batch expiry date with the later date.
Has anyone else experienced this or know of a work around ?

Deleting Secure Zones with Import

I have a client who gets their monthly membership updates from their National Organization. They get a list each month of adds / drops and changes to email addresses, etc. I need to figure out how to remove the drops list from their secure zone access.
I tried to import the Secure Zone Expiry in the format dd-mmm-yyyy but it didn't over write the field.
Suggestions? Thanks!

Hi,
If you are still having this problem, try format mm-dd-yyyy

Update the expiry date of dunning lock in program

Hi,
I have requirement where I want to update dunning lock expiry date to today's date in the program. Does anybody have idea about FM or BAPI for that.
I have actually used FKK_S_LOCK_DELETE but here i dont want to delete it directly. I have checked other FMs in function group FKLOCK but couldn't find any suitable.
Thanks in advance,
Murtuza

Hi Murtuza,
You can use function module BAPI_ISUACCOUNT_CHANGE.
Pass dunning lock details in parameter TCTRACLOCKDETAIL. This function module only create and delete locks.
So, you need to pass existing lock details (from table DFKKLOCKS) with PROCESSING_MODE = 04 (delete) and append another value with changed expiry date with PROCESSING_MODE = 01 (Create).
This will also help in maintain lock history too.
Hope this helps.

How to automatically update the Expiry Date's number of days

My web app input form is an event submission form. Users enter the event title, event date and other details, etc. I've figured out how to get the "expiry days" in the form and it be hidden but i can't figure out how to calculate this:
(today's date) - (event date) + 1 day = number of days to expire and then set the expiry days to that value upon submission.
I have tried writing the js but am getting no where, has anyone out there already accomplished this? I've researched and researched and find a million things on calculating the number of days but can't get one of them to work for my situation here... any help would be greatly appreciated!!

GPO Security Zones and Content Ratings "Modify Settings" buttons are disabled

Task: Trying to modify a GPO so that specific users who logon to Remote Desktop Servers will have a lower Internet security level for Internet Explorer.
We have two Windows Server 2008 Domain Controllers, when I access the GPO using the Group Policy Management Console and Editor on either of the two Domain Controllers, then navigate to User Configuration > Policies > Windows Settings > Internet Explorer
Maintenance > Security > Security Zones and Content Ratings, the available "Modify Settings" buttons are both disabled.
I've read through several forum posts relating to this and the closest solution mentioned was to turn off IE ESC for Administrators on both Domain Controllers. I've done this and it nothing has changed as a result. Is there a way enable the "Modify Settings"
buttons, or is there another way to achieve the task mentioned at the top of this post?

Hi,
We need to import these settings before we modify them.
To import security zones and privacy settings from our computer using IEM:
