You can't set the name directly at this place but only a reference to an org unit.

So you would need to lookup the org unit in the DB using a Reconciliation task first and then you can assign it accordingly

Hi Roger,

 

It looks like from the error output that you are trying to set the value to -1. I do not think that negative values are enabled on ACS instances.

 

Additionally, what kind of audiences are these? Depending on how they are created you may not have the option to update them see below:

If this is one off scenario, I would also suggest reaching out to Campaign Support who can enlist Ops to make this update in the backend database.

 

Regards,

Craig

Hi Craig

 

Thanks, I'm creating a list audience via a workflow (from a Query). The idea is to update the Org Unit of this created audience directly in the same workflow.

 

Unfortunately, I couldn't find any information about editing the Org Unit in your weblink.

thanks for the reply John. let me clarify the requirement . Let's say Profile A is set to orgunit value="orgunit 1", i would like to  update profile's org unit value to "orgunit2". Both org units are defined under admin/security/org units. 

 

I've a query to fetch profile A, going into reconcile activity with organizational dimension with ID mapping (profile orgid & orgunit id), now how do i update to org value of that profile to orgunit2?


In your query step add an additional field for "orgunit2" which would be the org id.  Then in the update profile (Fields to Update) use the additional field as the source and move it to the orgunit.
