Can I upload Contributor rights from file automatically

Post by EP_explorer »

I have an Contributor apllication. I can manually upload rights to application from a file using special apllication - Manage rights.

Is it any ways to upload rights from file in TI porcess. It would be great - administrator defines rights in a Cube and after it runs TI process - it downloads rights to file and after it upload rights to Contributor application.

Can anybody give any ideas how I create such TI process?

I think I asked quite clearly.

I want to load rights to Contributor application (e-list rights) in TI process from file. Is it possible or not?

can't see why not but what you'll probably need to do is the manual process whilst monitoring the control cubes that would be used and then get TI to automate that process but why write the rights to a file if you can go straight from the cube into the app?

But the question is - what control cubes should I monitor? and how? ;-)

We are moving from EP to TM1 for our Budget app. In EP, we had a schedule a macro to import elists and rights nightly.

However in TM1 contributor/application world, the only way we are seeing importing a rights file is going to Application portal and then clicking on Manage Rights, click import etc. This is all manual.

I tried to analyze the log file. It looks like it is running several processes behind the scenes
}tp_incr_deploy_application_security
}tp_incr_create_update_artifacts
}tp_add_user_security_from_file
}tp_get_top_node
}tp_get_parent_in_subset
}tp_clean_security_after_deployment
}tp_get_application_attributes
}tp_clean_security_after_deployment
SaveAllData
}tp_workflow_execute_action
}tp_workflow_enter_node

The list goes on. Is there a way to import the rights automatically? We trying to do all the steps that TM1 is doing behind the scenes is rather complicated and prone to mistakes
