I have been researching 'SharedShippingBillingPage' feature in AuroraStorefrontAssetStore but I haven't got much, IBM's info center is quiet about it.
Is there any link that can be useful in this regard?
I checked in db that this feature is enabled by default but I don't want to use it, I want to disable it. Our requirement is to have separate billing and shipping addresses in our application.
How to do it? Does IBM provide any way to get separate billing and shipping addresses from user and save them?
Have a look at the Store Management tool and see if this feature is available to toggle there - it may depend on your installation FP version.
If not (not all features are exposed), then have a look at a database level. See this related tutorial that explains a little about the involved tables.
As a quick check, see what this gets you:
select * from dmemspotdef d inner join emspot e on e.emspot_id=d.emspot_id where e.emspot_id in (select emspot_id from emspot where name like 'SharedShippingBillingPage');
And to disable (for all stores):
update dmemspotdef set content = 'false' where emspot_id IN (select emspot_id from emspot where name = 'SharedShippingBillingPage');

We have a requirement to connect to an external catalog from ME51N tcode (Purchase Requisition). This integration must be done entirely from ECC side and shouldn't be linked with SRM.
I have tried configuring the OCI on two different places. Let me explain the results and doubts for each. I don't need the two solutions, just one that gives me what I require.
Path: SPRO-> IMG-> Materials Management-> Purchasing-> Environment Data-> Web Services: ID and Description
Here I was able to configure the connection to the Catalog, and after defining it as default I get the button on ME51N's toolbar to get to the catalog. I'm able to select the data and return it to the purchase requisition. However some data that the client is sending is not the same as we have configured in our materials management, e.g. if they send a material group that we don't have the received material group is deleted and I can't see what the catalog returned for that field.
I've searched for a way to map these fields, and possibly insert some Z code to map those values and fill them like we need to, but I havent found anything that is usefull, most documentation is made for SRM, not for ECC.
So, how can I map/configure these values returned from the catalog? I'm currently looking at BADI ME_PROCESS_REQ_CUST to makes changes based on what the Catalog returned, but this is too late, as not configured values have already been deleted by then.
Since I couldn't configure this, I tried another way, using this other path, that does give me the option of mapping the fields from the catalog to SAP's standard fields, and even the possibility to set exits to add personal logic.
Path: SPRO-> IMG-> Plant Maintenance and Customer Service-> Maintenance and Service Processing-> Maintenance and Service Orders-> Interface for Procurement Using Catalogs (OCI)-> Define Catalogs.
However I haven't been able to display a link to these catalogs in ME51N.
Can these Catalogs be linked to ME51N?
Thanks
Well, I have no catalog by my hands now, but the procedure for connecting catalog to ERP via OCI seems to be the following:
You should make proper customization in the path
SPRO-> IMG-> Plant Maintenance and Customer Service-> Maintenance and Service Processing-> Maintenance and Service Orders-> Interface for Procurement Using External Catalogs
To adjust automatic Purchase Requisition creation you should set item category to N (non-stock item).
And also you should activate method COMPONENT_VIA_CATALOG_GET in BAdI PLM_CATALOG_IF.
See additional details here.
I installed a Sonarqube webapp to control code quality in my company.
I use LDAP plugin to authenticate users and everything works fine.
Moreover, we use another plugin (Issue assign plugin) which assign issues to their SCM authors and send emails to them so that they can correct the code.
However, when a new user logs in, notifications are off.
We'd like to create a batch which would turn notifications on for all users (using mass update whatsoever) but we can not locate where user account's notifications are stored ...
I didn't find it in the database.
Have you an idea of where this setting is stored ? (We use Sonarqube 4.5.6 for compatibility issues).
You cannot subscribe someone else to SonarQube spam notifications.
(This should be one of the things you see Bart Simpson writing on the blackboard.)
You must convince them to subscribe themselves.
SonarQube is a tool first and foremost for developers. Shove something down a developer's throat/inbox and you it will quickly be filtered to the trash.
This is your opportunity to train new developers on how SonarQube helps them be better at their jobs and show them why they should be interested enough to subscribe on their own.
We back our instance with an Oracle database, and found the following sql to do exactly what you're asking:
Note: You'll probably want to update the created_at value to something else, but I don't think it'll make a functional difference.
INSERT INTO properties (id, user_id, prop_key, text_value, is_empty, created_at)
SELECT
PROPERTIES_SEQ.nextval,
users.id,
'notification.SQ-MyNewIssues.EmailNotificationChannel',
'true',
0,
1505275000000
FROM
users
WHERE
users.id NOT IN (
SELECT user_id
FROM properties
WHERE prop_key = 'notification.SQ-MyNewIssues.EmailNotificationChannel');
INSERT INTO properties (id, user_id, prop_key, text_value, is_empty, created_at)
SELECT
PROPERTIES_SEQ.nextval,
users.id,
'notification.ChangesOnMyIssue.EmailNotificationChannel',
'true',
0,
1505275000000
FROM
users
WHERE
users.id NOT IN (
SELECT user_id
FROM properties
WHERE prop_key = 'notification.ChangesOnMyIssue.EmailNotificationChannel');
I tried to combine the two at some point, but the sql got too complicated. Easy enough to just copy-paste.
G. Ann is correct in that users will create email filters because of the sheer bulk of notifications, especially if you turn them all on. However, sometimes managers want a unilateral solution, and if the product doesn't directly support it, you end up having to hack something together anyway.
I reckon that the incentive to filter emails would be a lot less if the information were consolidated into a rate-limited summary. I've got another stackoverflow post up about that specific scenario here: Can SonarQube notification email quantity be reduced via batching?
Accordint to this blog one can hide the business process flows. I'm trying to follow it but there's no flows defined for my opportunity (according to the list).
I'd like to "delete" the flow for Opportunity entity (or at least affect it somehow to display different steps/different number of steps). The reason is that we'll be migrating from an older version and they've got a picklist with percentages of the deal being done. Not sure how to map it onto the Opportunity in 2013 and even if, I'm not sure the client'd like it.
Is it at all possible to remove business process flow from Opportunity in CRM 2013?
When I do follow the guide and fool around with all flows, I get to remove the one for Opportunity but then I'm shown the error message as in the image below. So I'm assuming that it's not the correct approach. Or did the blogger referred to in the first paragraph cheat and took his screenshot after closing the warning? :)
The blogger in the blog is using the earlier version of Dynamics CRM than yours. Newer versions of Dynamics CRM will show the above warning.
Beside one way in the blog, there are a couple of way to show/hide Business Process Flow:
use Javascript to set the display attribute of process bar element:
function hideBusinessProcessFlow()
{
document.getElementById('header_process_d').style.display = "none";
}
function showBusinessProcessFlow()
{
document.getElementById('header_process_d').style.display = "block";
}
Reference: https://community.dynamics.com/crm/b/misscrm360exploration/archive/2014/07/24/show-and-hide-business-process-flow-in-crm-2011-2013.aspx
Please note that this is unsupported customization.
Update processid and stageid fields of the record. Use update these fields with Javascript or writing a plugin/workflow to do this.
Have a look at this solution: http://code.msdn.microsoft.com/Change-Dynamics-CRM-2013-a6beb85e
In your case, you just need to update processid and stageid fields to null, then the annoying warning will disappear.
Good luck!
Are you looking at the complete list of Processes under Customisations? If you're looking at an unmanaged solution it won't appear unless it's been added to that solution. It's in there OOB and called Opportunity Sales Process, I just deactivated it on a clean org. No need to delete it, just deactivate it or edit as required.
There are two things that can be done for any business process flow in MS CRM:
Deactivate BPF
Delete BPF
In order to remove Business Process Flow (BPF) from existing records, it is not enough to just deactivate BPF. Even when we deactivate BPF, records that are associated with it will still show BPF with warning message that it is deactivated.
It is true, if you delete BPF from Processes in MS Dynamics CRM, they will be removed (not showed) from the records that were associated with that BPF. However, what if you do not want to delete default BPFs, like those related to sales process on system entities (Leads, Opportunities and Accounts)? What if you want to hide these default system BPF from default system entity (i.e. Opportunity)?
In this case you need to write plugin/workflow activity to remove association of the entity record from BPF.
See my GitHub example how to do this
This MS CRM community post is also useful:
Remove business Process Flow from Account
I've got a lookup field on Account entity called something. Each such Something has a reference to an account. When my users click the magnifying glass, I want them to see a list of available Something records but filtered to view only such instances that link to the currently treated entity.
Also, I'll need to design such a filtration for Contact instances to only show the Something records that are related to the account that the currently regarded contact is a member of.
I can't decide between a plugin on Retrieve and some JS in OnLoad registering a fetchXML. All such operations will be done client-side. The solution needs only to work in CRM13 (and if possible apply some cool functionality in that version).
Suggestions?
JavaScript & FetchXml are your best option here as with a Retrieve plugin you're taking the performance hit of executing on every retrieve regardless of whether the entity is being retrieved for the lookup. A filtered lookup in JS only applies for those scenarios that require a change to the field on Account.
Another other good reason for using a filtered lookup in Js is they are now a supported feature in CRM 2013 as opposed to the "hack" that was required in 2011.
Some more info on addPreSearch and addCustomFilter can be found on MSDN and there's a decent blog post providing examples here.
Has anyone used Commission Junction's Product Catalog Search API for searching/fetching local deals? (BuyWithMe and KGBDeals post their deals to CJ)
There is a Yipit clone out there which uses this API. This clone was unable to categorize deals properly based on location. I was supposed to fix this issue. The problem I saw is: API's response does not contain location/city info. Therefore, deals cannot be categorized based on cities. This basically kills the purpose of local deals.
I am looking for advice from anyone who has done similar work using CJ API. May be I am missing something.
OneBigPlanet has an All-In-One API filled with all affiliate networks and daily deal providers for U.S & Canada
If you are going to use a deal aggregator API for your site/blog, you may want to take a look at this one as well.
SideBuy has recently released its version 1 API which lets the user (like yourself) connect to its comprehensive set of daily deals using several parameters to fully customize the listings. I suggest you check it out and get in touch in SideBuy's site if you need further assistance.
