Uploading old CRM activities into the system

Good afternoon
In our company we want to upload old CRM activities into the system (CRM 4.0)
By doing so we also want to change the "created by" field with the initials of the user that used to make the activity.
This is a problem since some of the users are no longer with us in the company. Therefore they do not have a working SAP account, but we still want to add their name in the field.
Is this possible and what do we have to do?
Thank you for your help,
Filip

If you do not want to program, you can also upload the activities with the external list management (ELM) or the LSMW workbench. However, in your case I would create the old employees still as BP's in the system and assign them to the activities in the partner function 'Employee Responsible'.
The 'Created By' field is filled automatically and will be filled with the user loading the activities. Of course you can later overwrite them directly with ABAP in the DB, but this is not such a good idea as this data would e.g. not be replicated to mobile sales (if you use it).
So better do the following:
1. make sure all employees are as standard business partners and employees in the system (they might have a deletion flag, if they no longer exist in the company)
2. upload the activities with a partner function pointing to the former employees
3. If you want, you can then still update the created by field on the DB directly by getting the employee out of the partner function.

  • How to upload an XML file into another system

    Hi friends,
    I have a requirement where I need to upload an  XML file into one system
    which has been downloaded  using  another  system.
    I have tried using the method ' cl_gui_frontend_services=>gui_upload'
    to upload the file but it is going for dump.
    I have used the  method ' w_xml->import_from_file' also,
    but it is also going for dump ,because  both methods are using the same FM
    ' GUI_UPLOAD'.
    Can any one suggest on this.
    Regards,

    "Here is the  Explaination for uploading the XML   Format file to sap   " through ABAP Program ....
    1. Basically you simply have to convert the XML file into the proper IDoc format. There are many ways to achieve this. One solution would be to convert it externally to SAP, e.g. via VB Script or with an XSLT transformation. Or you use the built in SAP functions for importing an IDoc from an XML stream.
    2. Uploading a file is either done via GUI_UPLOAD or via the usual way of reading a file from the application server (Open dataset. Read dataset) But what do you mean by "send to external system"? Do you want to convert an IDoc into XML? Then you simply define an XML port with WE21 to send the IDoc out.
    Here is an example of code that loads an XML from file and posts it as an IDoc. Please keep in mind that the XML has to be in its canonical format as described in the interface repository: ifr.sap.com (choose the template of the desired IDoc from there as an example).

  • Is there a way to create a .dmg file for a DVD inserted into the system

    I am wondering if Snow Leopard has integrated any tools that can create a .dmg file for the CD or DVD inserted into the system?
    If not, any recommendations for freeware 3rd party tools? Thanks

    Insert the disc you want to create the .dmg from, then choose the disc in the left hand pane of Disk Utility. From the File menu, choose New > Disk Image from (name of disc).
    EDIT: This is basically how it's done; however, there may be other steps involved, depending on the type of disc you're trying to copy and what your goals are with the .dmg. If you provide more details about what you're trying to achieve, maybe we can help you further.

  • Is it possible to reinstall Symbol dfont into the system folder?

    Since updating to Snow Leopard, there is no Symbol dfont in the system folder. I have been relying on this font for sometime now to avoid special character issues.
    I use InDesign and this font has become essential for my work. The Symbol font now supplied with the OSX ver.6 (Symbol.ttf) is noticeably different.
    Is there a way of reloading Symbol dfont into the system folder without it becoming a nightmare? Or, can I replace the current Symbol font?

    This is one of those infamous Apple "invisible" fonts that are not removable.
    Other than those in the ProtectedFonts folder (not invisible, just difficult to find), their are no "invisible" fonts on the hard drive.
    The only Symbol font installed by Snow Leopard is the Symbol.ttf font in the /System/Library/Fonts/ folder.
    You can try removing it, and it will seem to go away, but somehow it keeps showing up.
    What did you do after removing it? How did you remove it?
    If you simply dragged it to the trash, that won't work. Only a copy of the font will go in the trash, or desktop, or wherever you drag it. To delete any font from the System folder, you must choose Delete and enter your admin password.
    After that, it's still not gone. Even in the trash, any font from the System folder remains active (you can't even empty the trash) until you at least restart the Mac.
    You may still have issues after installing Symbol.dfont from Leopard if the OS, or applications use the cached data for the .ttf version instead of creating fresh data for the replacement font.
    Close all running applications. From an administrator account, open the Terminal app and enter the following command. You can also copy/paste it from here into the Terminal window:
    sudo atsutil databases -remove
    This removes all font cache files. Both for the system and all user font cache files. After running the command, close Terminal and immediately restart your Mac.
    Once the Snow Leopard version of Symbol is truly off the drive, you should have no trouble using the .dfont version from Leopard.

  • My kid put a password to my new ipad how can i get into the system

    my kid put a password on to my new ipad 2 and y cannot get into the system what can i do?

    You can't get in unless you know the password so Now you have to restore the iPad in order to unlock it. You should restore the iPad to the same computer that you sync with so that you can restore your app data and iPad settings. You will probably need to use recovery mode in order to restore the device as well.

    Generally this is a sign that the iPhone had previously been
    hacked/modified/jailbroken and the update relocked it to the
    original wireless carrier. If this is the case, only that wireless
    carrier can unlock your iPhone. You must contact them to see
    if they offer unlocking and if you qualify.
    Where did you acquire this iPhone?
    What wireless carrier did you use before this problem?
    Does the app Cydia appear on your iPhone?
    What does it say when you look at Settings=>General=>About=>Carrier?

  • I can't get into the system osx lion

    I can't get into the system of my iMac osx lion

    I would recommend that you try rebooting while holding down the Command - R keys to get  into the Recovery Partition.  There, run Disk Repair and then run Repair Permissions twice.  A sizeable number of people have found that these steps solved the same problems that you are having.  If that doesn't completely resolve it the the next step is to reset the PRAM, by rebooting while holding down the Command-Option-P-R keys.  This may also be the problem solver you need.
    Hope this helps
