Hi Sigrid, Our use case is the following. We have a table with material fields (e.g. plant data - MARC). Each field may have different department responsible for it (e.g. MRP data is Planning, purchasing data is Purchasing, Finance, etc.). Also, each plant belongs to different organization and data ...

This time it is not Sigrid, but a user :) By default, Evolve writes logs to text files, that is very painful to analyze and search. Fortunately they use NLog and it can be easily configured to write logs directly to database in addition to text files. Edit the file svr\NLog.config as following ...

RE: Solution Data Library Use

Found In Egroup: Automate \ view thread
As far as i understand, Solution Data Library is for non-structured data (files). I think it would be much easier and more reliable to use a supporting database for such mechanism. And then use data connection to read data from SQL database in workflow (using Set Form Data plugin and GetExternalConnection) ...

RE: Is there a way to upload a group of people to the App Visitor role?

Posted By Alexey Skotnikov 12-22-2023 00:51
Found In Egroup: Automate \ view thread
You do not need App Visitor role, but better use Document Explorer functionality - check it in Help. You need to create Document Explorer solution where you can even combine several similar solutions in one view, and it will give read only access to documents not created by user. You can then assign ...

For read only access you can use Document Explorer, it is very convenient. There is no way to get user added to workflow of running processes automatically when you add user to the group, best of my knowledge. ------------------------------ Alexey Skotnikov GPO, Data Governance ABBOTT RAPID DX INTERNATIONAL ...

RE: UKM_BP, Start SAP GUI and System User

Thank you Sigrid. That confirms my research too. Basis is reluctant change of user type, because then it will have password change policy enforced and also have limitation on parallel sessions, that may become even bigger problem. I will be requesting to create custom BAPI for that. ------- ...

UKM_BP, Start SAP GUI and System User

Found In Egroup: Automate \ view thread
Dear Community! We have a script that use transaction UKM_BP to set credit segment data. It works fine as recording, but only if "Start SAP GUI" checkbox is set. If you unset checkbox, we get message "No batch input data for dynpro (SAPMSSY0 0120)" and unable to debug (because in debug it works fine). ...

RE: Hide RDL's from the Evolve Documents list?

Posted By Alexey Skotnikov 04-13-2023 02:51
Found In Egroup: Automate \ view thread
hi James, Actually there is a way. First, it depends on user's authorizations - I don't think all users will need to have access to RDLs, so they generally won't see them in documents. Also in Evolve 20.3 there is a very nice feature called Document Explorer, that allows to create customizable views ...

I think this should work fine. Winshuttle is pretty stable, and even if it fails, you can run skipping completed errors - and basically continue. ------------------------------ Alexey Skotnikov Abbott Rapid Diagnostics AS ------------------------------

I don't think there is a restriction (if these are 117K separate transactions - not one PIR with 117K items) and you should be fine. But just to be on the safe side, i would split this into 2 files per 64k and executed this on Evolve server (if you have one). A lot depends on how script was recorded ...

Assuming you're using Query to extract. There are very limited options on sorting, filtering and joins that Winshuttle provide, so it will always be extracted sorted by primary key. You may use PowerQuery in Excel to transform data as you need once extracted. ------------------------------ Alexey Skotnikov ...
