UWL substitution with multiple systems

Hi all,
I need some help in understanding how an UWL substitution works with multiple systems.
We are using ESS, MSS and SRM workflows and use UWL for all workflow scenarios.
All users are using ESS, all managers are using ESS, MSS and SRM.
In the UWL configuration we defined a role base connection to the backend systems. ESS users can only make a UWL connection to R/3 and not to SRM, manager can make a connection to all systems.
The problem occurs when a manager assign an other user (not a manager) to manage his of her tasks in case of absence. Because the manager also has the rights to make a connection to the SRM system, the UWL tries now to make this connection with this delegated user. Because the user has no rights to make a connection to SRM an error is generated and no tasks at all are displayed in the users inbox.
If we grant the user right to make a connection to the SRM system, also an error is generated because this user has no user account on SRM.
Is this a normal behaviour, we only want the user to manage all the managers tasks on R/3 and not on SRM because he/she has no authorisation to do so.
Kind Regards,
Evert Schuiteman

I think this will require a separate development as I feel the forwardind table HRUs_D2 stores only user Id and if you need to set som Personnel number as substitution then the devt. should take care whether any user Id is attached to the the PERNR and then set the substitution.

Firefox with multiple system accounts: solutions or alternatives?

The subject isn't exactly clear but I couldn't think of a good way to summarize the issue.
I want to share a subset of Firefox bookmarks, extensions, settings and search plugins across different system accounts.
For example, I have a bookmark hierarchy with directories named foo, bar and baz. I want to keep bar and baz synchronized across multiple accounts but I want foo to remain private for a given account. I want to have extensions x, y and z installed on all accounts with the same settings, but I want extension w only on one account.
General and plugin settings are easy enough to do with user.js.
Interface settings, extensions and search plugins can be shared with some scripting and rsyncing but that's a minor pain.
Sharing a subset of bookmarks is major pain. Either I have to automatically export HTML bookmarks files, write a parser, copy the subset around, import it manually with each account, and finally arrange the imported bookmarks in the hierarchy or I have to open each account in the same X session and copy+paste bookmarks between accounts.
I could probably write a script to extract and insert what I want in places.sqlite3, but I don't want to rely on the stability of the database format with the new release plan.
Does anyone have any suggestions? Firefox Sync is not an option because I do not want to share everything.
At this point I'm open to alternatives, but there is some functionality that I'm not willing to give up:
* NoScript (per-site Javascript and Flash blocking)
* RequestPolicy (per-site permissions for loading content from other sites)
* Cookie Monster (per-site cookie permissions)
* Add to Search Bar (easily add any search form to the search bar)
* Organize Search Engines (create hierarchical structures of aforementioned search engines)
I've started considering Chrome but the matching extensions don't seem to be mature enough yet (e.g. Request Maker is based on RequestPolicy, but the author admits it lacks features). Besides, I don't really want to rely on the Google apps store if I can avoid it.
I looked at uzbl too, but the script-blocking scripts apparently fail sometimes because uzbl lacks hooks. An unreliable script-blocker is a no-go for me.
tl:dr; need suggestions for something that lets me:
* control outgoing requests from browser
* control code execution in browser
* synchronize subsets of bookmarks, extensions, search engines
* organize bookmarks and search engines
p.s. Life would be so much easier if Firefox didn't pack shit into SQLite databases like it was playing Tetris. Just give me some decent command-line options and simple configuration file formats ffs.

What do you use instead? Memory and auto-completion?
This did give me an idea... I could just as well write a basic server to host my bookmarks and run that as a daemon.
As for the suggestions so far:
* Pentadactyl: I'll look into it, but installing it would be a bit like buying a car just for the seat.
* Xmarks: that might do what I want, but I don't like the idea of storing all of my bookmarks on a third-party server and I definitely don't want to let them collect data about me as per their ToS.
* xxxterm etc.: I'll look into those.
Thanks!
I'll post an update as soon as I decide on a solution.

How to install ADS for usage with multiple systems ?

Good day,
In our ERP6 System Landscape we have the usual DEV, TST and PRD systems. I have a request to setup ADS with interactive forms to be accessible from each of these systems. Am I right to assume I would need to install a Java Add-In with ADS on each system so each system can have it's own database source for data capture from the interactive forms ? There is no mention in the documentation of using multiple database sources on a single ADS configured system.
Your suggestions and advice on this matter are greatly appreciated.
Regards,
Nelis

Nelis
you dont need any JAVA Addin install on your connected Systems (HR, eRec, ECC or whatever)
You just need the RFC from ABAP (lets say ECC) to your ADS (JAVA)
you can connect as many Systems as you like. But also check SAP Note #1133230
We actually have a 2 TIER Landscape Only. ADS-DEV and ADS-PROD. All Development and Quality Systems (HR, eRec, ECC, BW, XI, SolMan) are connected to ADS-DEV. All Production SAP Systems are connected to our ADS-PROD

How does this work with multiple systems backing up with time machine

I was wondering as Apple states that this will do multiple time machine backups as in multiple computers, how does this do this? I am assumng that it will require me to partition the srive in the unit as multiple partitions. 1 for each time computer with time machine running.

I'm sorry, I'm not quite sure how to interpret your answer so I'll ask for clarification.
Do you mean that the backup belonging to each user will be protected by filesystem perms? In other words Alice's backup will be owned by Alice and only readable by her, ditto for the hyperthetical Bill?
I guess in other words, does Time Machine preserve file ownership perms?

Integrating RMI with multiple systems

I have a 1 system running on IBM mainframe , one website running on Linux, and one Point-of-Sale System running on Window Server.
How do i integrate these systems using RMI?
Need answers asap!
Thank you!

You design a client/server system; you design the RMI remote interfaces; you write implementations of these interfaces, and RMI client code to make use of them. You deploy.

Multiple system maintenance cycles are not shown in pop up for selection

Hi,
In change manager, when we create a change document from a change request, we dont get a pop up for selection of maintenance cycles with multiple systems in it.
The change document is getting created by taking the only available maintenance cycle with only that system.
Is there any configuration for this?
Regards,
Dipti Sawarkar.

Hi Christian,
Thanks for your reply.
I know the pop up will come only when there is more than one maintenance cycles for that production system.
I have done configuration for Normal correction.( SDMJ) and customized it (ZDMJ).
When I try to create a CD* from CR* for a particular production system ( CCP) , it just takes up a maintenance cycle for CCP system and doesnt show up any pop for selection of maint cycles whereas I have created 5 maintenance cycles for this system CCP.
The other 4 maintenance cycles have multiple landscapes (CCP and EAP )in it whereas this one (which gets selected by default) just has CCP landscape in it.
The strange part is that when I try to create a stand alone CD ( without CR ) , it will give that pop up showing all 5 maint cycles. But this is not happening when I create a CD from a CR.
I have never done/ seen configuration for the pop up of selecting maint cycles in ChaRM.
Looking forward to ur help,
( *CD - Change Document and * CR - Change Request)

How UWL support substitution in multiple backend scenario?

Hello experts,
We are using UWL with multiple backend - 3 ERPs. If I define a substitution rule in portal, I think this rule will be replicated in all the 3 ERPs otherwise my substitute in the backend could not get my work items in UWL. Is it correct? Do you have more information about this topic?
thank you for your help in advance!
Best Regards,
Huaiyang

Dear Huaiyang,
You are right, if you have multiple systems connected to UWL , then substitution set via UWL has been entered in all systems.
However it is not possible to restrict substition settings to a particular system. If the user set a substitution via UWL, then it will be set in all connected system as well. UWL set the substitution at backend level in the normal substituion table HRUS_D2.
Hope this helps.

UWL Issue with Substitution

Hi,
Here's a detail description of issue we are facing with UWL substitution.
1. When User A assigns User B on his behalf, User B is only able to see a few items and not all items. Ideally the expectation is that the User B should be able to see all of User A.
2. Refresh issue: The refresh isn't working properly. When user process a workitem, sometimes the task remian in the UWL and clears the UWL after a refresh. We have tried to set the refresh timing, but it created another issue where the user is scrolling to some 1000th entry, refresh occurs and it goes back to the first tab.
Just to update, we have tried substitution at both front end and backend, still the issue persists.
Any inputs, greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
SV

Hi SV,
Are there any roles mention in System Admin -> System Configuration -> UWL Admin
Check in system register whether you have any User role defined for the registered system.
Hope this will be helpful.
Thanks

Automated deployments of Windows 7 on systems with multiple hard drives

Last week I helped a customer use MDT2010 to deploy Windows 7 to ThinkStation systems with multiple hard drives. The customer has multiple HDDs in the system and wants Windows to be installed to the HDD that is connected to SATA port 1. Unfortunately Windows does not always assign "Disk 0" to the HDD on SATA port 1 - in fact it is completely random what disk ID gets assigned to which SATA port. The bug is documented by Microsoft in KB937251:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/937251
MDT2010 uses hard-coded disk IDs (0, 1, 2, etc) to specify where Windows gets installed. And because of the bug, sometimes Windows gets installed to the HDD on SATA port 1 and sometimes it gets installed to a different HDD.
The solution is to install Windows to the HDD identified by the "SELECT DISK SYSTEM" command of DISKPART. This will always return the disk that is connected to the lowest SATA port.
To configure this in MDT2010, use the following steps (refer to the attachment):
1. copy "FormatPartition.txt" and "SystemDisk.vbs" to your Scripts folder in the Deployment Share.
2. in your Task Sequence, disable the existing step called "Format and Partition Disk" (see TaskSequence.jpg)
3. create a new step at the same location called "Format and Partition Disk (custom)". The type is "General -> Run Command Line". The command line is " cmd.exe /c "diskpart /s %SCRIPTROOT%\FormatPartition.txt" "
4. on the main screen for Deployment Workbench, right-click on the Deployment Share and select "properties", then click on the "rules" tab
5. under section [Default], add the following entries (see Rules.jpg)
    - UserExit=SystemDisk.vbs
    - DestinationDisk=#DiskID#
    - DestinationPartition=1
Hopefully this info will help someone else!

Report script - using substitution variable with multiple values

Hi All,
Substitution variable with multiple values is not working correctly with Report scripts. Can you please let me know what is the syntax to assign multiple values to a sub variable using maxl:
alter database samp.samp set variable 'ExtractQuarter' 'Q1,Q2,Q3,Q4';
alter database Samp.Samp set variable 'ExtractQuarter' 'Q1:Q4';
I tried both of the above but they are errored out with the below error:
Error: 1001005 - Unknown Member [Q1:Q4] in Report.
my requirement is different for both Actual and forecast data extract so i would like to make use of this variable to extract whole year data for Forecast and current quarter data for Actual with out duplicating the report scripts for both processes.
Thanks,
PRaveen

Hi,
Please refer following thread,
range of months in report script?
Hope it helps.

Web Forms using substitution variables with multiple values

Hi,
I am trying to select a substitution variable in a webform (Hyperion Planning 11.1.1.3) with multiple values in EAS, but is not working does somebody knows if this an expected behaviour.
I allready try ex.
&Months = "Jan","Feb", "Mar"
&Months = Jan, Feb, Mar
&Months = Jan:Mar
Please let me know something, since as far as I recall in previous versions of Hyperion Planning this was possible.
Kind Regards

We experienced the same issue, our requirement was that for the first half of the year the substitution variable was = Oct and for the second part of the year Jan:Dec. We were lucky that for the second scenario we had a Total Year member as well (that at the bottom level is Jan:Dec). So on web form we picked Level0 descendants of the substitution variable. That worked fine but not the range.

When closing 2 windows(with multiple tabs each), system restore does not properly restore the second window's tabs. Is this a bug in the new update/any ideas to fix?

I regularly use 2 windows with multiple tabs each and session restore would work to get them all back, but after this latest update the second window does not restore properly, with the first tab not visible on top(only in drop down menu) and the add a tab button now on the left(instead of right). The add a tab button is not really concerning other than it indicates other problems with the tabs on tab of the 2nd window. Not having the 1st tab visible is frustrating, because I can not move it or as easily navigate. Also, the tabs on top of the 2nd window that are visible no longer have the "x" to close visible unless that tab is selected. I'm assuming this is a problem with the new release/update, since this is the first time I've ever encountered the problem, and I've shut down and restored Firefox a few times to make sure this was a recurring problem and not a one-time deal. Any ideas on how to fix would be welcome(other than perhaps cramming my tabs onto one window or sucking it up XD).

UWL Substitution not working

Dear all,
We have a problem with UWL Substitutions. We have a backend SRM 7.0 system and the users are trying to do substitutions with the option 'Receive my tasks'. When they do this, the substitutes do not receive all the tasks, but only 4 of them.
We check the SWWUSERWI table and we see 30 tasks assigned to the 'boss' and only 4 of them assigned to the 'delegate'.
We have also checked that HRUS_D2 table is correctly updated with the substitution.
Do you know why the tasks are not being updated with the UWL Substitution?
Is there a way to manually update SWWUSERWI with substitutions rules?
Thanks in advance and regards,
Sergio Martinez

Hi Manchari
I hope you are well and many thanks for using the SAP Discussion Forums .
In relation to the scenario that you have described you mentioned wanting to restrict the external users being displayed for Substitution in Internal Portal. You have setup the UME property and People Renderer Profile, Trusted Attributes settings as per the documentation.
Now in relation to the above could you kindly confirm that after making these changes did you perform the following:
Clear the UWL Cache
Restart the UWL Service
Now regarding the document you referenced this is the official way that we recommend customers to restrict the people picker. Unfortunately there really isn't another supported way to achieve this. We just read all users back from the UME/LDAP, etc. However, the solution in the blog was signed off by our development team as an achieveable way to restrict the people picker so long as KMC is running on the portal.
http://wiki.scn.sap.com/wiki/display/BPX/Enhancements+to+the+Universal+Worklist+People+Picker
In NW 7.01 the people picker functionality is provided by a KM component that supports company related functionality. In NW 7.30 UWL no longer uses KM PP. Instead it uses native PP that lacks company related features.
Kindly ensure the configurations as per the documentation are configured and setup correctly as the smallest discrepancy may be causing this undesired behaviour:

UWL - conditional accessing of systems

Hello All,
I have configured the UWL system to retrieve data from 2 MDM repositories. Every portal user is not going to have access to both the MDM repositories. How can I stop UWL from retrieving data from both the repositories?
Currently the UWL is retrieving the data from the MDM system for which there is a User Mapping. But for the other UWL is displaying an error message. I need a way to restrict this behaviour (because the error message makes the end user confused).
Thanks in advance,
PKS.

Hi,
when you create a UWL system you have got the possibility to restrict access to this system. Have a look at the parameter "User Roles". There you can determine for which set of users the UWL should access this system.
For example, you can assign a portal role here, such as buyer. Only users with the role buyer will see items from the provider system in UWL. You can have multiple user roles separated by semi-colon.
Find detailed information in the <a href="http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/92/a88931f2dd4631b9e8d530697d89c9/frameset.htm">SAP Library</a>.
