Re: Charge unbalanced entity with datareader
Hi @Tommy0411 ,
this picture shows that you have the root member without parent
The description is that of the root member, and that appears as parent to the next level members.
And, by the way, there can be no description to an entity member that does not have a code, because the code is the member's essential part.
To get to the base of things: your hierarchy is correct, it's just that you will need to load the members of the hierarchy first, then the relationships (like @Hamza Mesbahi already said) —within the relationships don't load a parent (or try to load a parent) to the root member; that's what's caused your issue in the first place.

Re: Where's the Entity extract file?
Hi Samir,
The default download location is in the server C drive which is not directly accessible unless reading it from the data reader. You can extract the entity via a procedure by pointing to the Z drive.
Thanks,
Samson.
Where's the Entity extract file?
Cloud, Version 12.6
When extracting an Entity, where does the file end up?
According to documentation, it ends up in the default download location, but I can't find the file in Z:\.

Re: Charge unbalanced entity with datareader
Hi @Tommy0411 ,
additionally to what @Hamza Mesbahi said: the root member of an unbalanced hierarchy does not have any parent (by design).

Re: Rejected value in Datareader
that column displays the number of records, not the row number.
So your first set "_028" had 17 records read and imported (validated), the second "_031" had 1 record read and 0 imported.
In order to find out what's the error with importing, you'd need to check the log file.

Restricting User Administration via Subscription Hub (Preventing Self-Privilege Escalation)
Hi everyone,
We're currently working on establishing a clean governance setup for our Board environment and have a specific use case within the Subscription Hub:
We want to allow a user to manage other users (e.g. assign them to groups or roles) – but without being able to assign higher privileges to themselves.
Our objectives:
- Delegate user administration to a defined person or group
- Prevent self-assignment of elevated roles, licenses or permissions
- Ensure separation of duties and avoid circumvention of permission structures
Our questions:
- Is there a native way within Subscription Hub to restrict user permissions this granularly?
- Can group/role assignments be subject to a four-eyes principle or approval workflow?
- Is it technically possible to restrict access to a user's own role or assignment configuration?
We’d highly appreciate any best practices or technical suggestions on how to implement this setup.
Thanks a lot in advance!
Best regards,
Carolin
Re: Possible to load unbalanced hierarchy throught smart import ?
Hi Tommy,
As far as I remember, you can't find the parent entity in the displayed list of entities.
However, I believe there are some workarounds.
One of them is to use a cube to store the link with the parent, and then perform an extract-reload operation to make the link effective. But I suggest to avoid this kind of gymanstics as much as possible :)
People & Structure: Who Belongs in a CoE and How to Organize it
Author: Kevin Gough, Customer Succes Manager at Board and Community Captain
Establishing a strong Centre of Excellence (CoE) hinges on the individuals involved and the organizational structure supporting them. While a large team isn't initially necessary, the right blend of roles is crucial for the CoE's success, credibility, and scalability.
The suggested core CoE team structure would be:
- CoE Lead (often with a background in transformation)
- Systems Specialist, or product trained resource or resources
- Solutions Architect
- Process Architect/Business analyst
Extended networks by engaging champions and stakeholders such as:
- IT Platform Owners
- Key Vendors/Implementation & Support Partners
- Steering Committee comprising:
- CFO/Finance Director
- CIO/CTO
- Head of Transformation/Strategy
- Business Unit Leadership
Maintaining a balance between centralized ownership and local adaptability is key.
A valuable suggestion is to commence operations with a lean approach, assess outcomes, and gradually enhance influence by building credibility.
Stay tuned for the final installment in the series: "Launching your CoE - From Vision to Value."
