FCCS - IMPORT METADATA ASSIGNING NEW PLUG ACCOUNT TO ICP ACCOUNT AT SECOND ATTEMPT 

While importing new plug accounts and tagging the new plug accounts to the existing intercompany accounts, users might get into a situation where the import metadata process fails at the first attempt and gets success in the second attempt...

Users might the below error as well 

ERROR MESSAGE
java.lang.RuntimeException: Attribute value: AC_XXX062 invalid for attribute
dimension: Plug Account
java.lang.RuntimeException: Attribute value: AC_XXX062 invalid for attribute
dimension: Plug Account

SOLUTION

This is the expected behavior with FCCS.

The first pass (first import) is when the accounts that are tagged as plug accounts are created. In the second pass, you will be able to assign those accounts as plug accounts.

How to restrict users from viewing load files from other locations in FDMEE

Create two locations in the names (example) "ForlocationA" and "ForlocationB"
Created two new users "USER A" and "USER B"
In Data Management enable "Location security" under Setup > Security settings
Click on "Maintain User groups" with prefix A and suffix K (anything)

Now new groups "A_ForlocationA_K" and A_ForlocationB_K" will be created

Assign those two groups with either Create Integration, Run Integration or any Intermediate roles.

Then in Shared services, assign USER A as a member of Group "A_ForlocationA_K"
Then in Shared services, assign user B as a member of Group "A_ForlocationB_K"

Then grant both the users USERA and USERB with the roles Create Integration, Run Integration roles

Then login to the workspace with userA - navigate to select Inbox and you will be able to see the folder ForlocationA alone
Then login in to the workspace with userB - navigate to select Inbox and you will be able to see the folder ForlocationB alone

You will not be able to see other locations created by other users when that respective user is logged in,

Is it Possible to Disable EPM Cloud Passwords from Expiring

This is not possible as it is a violation of password policies,

The only workaround is to enable SSO with their own Identity Provider (IdP) and customer can manage their own password policies.

Please see the documentation for the same below :
