Role upload from ERP to Portal - a few questions

[Former Member]

Hello there,

I´ve been playing a bit with the role upload and have some questions which I hope someone can give me answers to.

1. Is it possible to upload both roles and the generated transaction iViews to a specific folder in the PCD? I´d like to have a seperate folder for every role I´ll upload. The reason is that I don´t like 400 (or let´s say count X) transaction iViews in one folder. I was able to choose a folder for the role - but not for the generated iViews.

2. What if I have to delete the uploaded rolls for some reason? Like if we delete the role in ERP - we don´t want that in the Portal anymore either then. Would I have to delete the role and all its assigned transaction iViews manually in the Portal?

3. Is it possible to synchronize the user mapping between ERP and Portal with a job or something like that? I´m just wondering when the role in ERP will be assigned to new users if I always have to upload the user mapping so it´ll be also available within the Portal.

4. When creating a delta link like recommended, will the delta link include the user mapping also or would I have to set that again in the Portal?

5. I know it´s possible to customize the webgui so the navigation bar won´t be visible etc. Is it possible to do a global customizing of the webgui or do I have to set the parameters for every single iView? This will sure be a lot of work because if you have - let´s say 400 iViews - you have to change 400 iViews and set 400 times the parameters?

We´re running version 7.00 SP12

Lot of questions - answers are very appreciated!

Thanks,

Susanne

When you do a role upload for the second time, the entire folder gets updated and owerwritten.

5. I know it´s possible to customize the webgui so

possible to do a global customizing of the webgui or

have - let´s say 400 iViews - you have to change 400

iViews and set 400 times the parameters?

The webgui parameter change you'd do is applicable for all ITS URL's so you don't have to set any parameter for your iViews. Its a one time parameter change in SICF.

I'm not 100% sure I know the solution to your remaining questions; sorry.

Hello Prem,

Thank for your answer.

I know when I upload a role the second time that the folger gets updated. But I was talking about when I delete a role in ERP ...how to delete the role including the single transaction iViews in the PDC. I guess I can´t upload a role-deleting. So I probably have to delete it manually.

Thanks to the SICF - I´ll check on that.

Sincerely,

Susanne
