Consolidated Infobjects Key mapping

Hi
In an SRM BW analysis scenario for vendor evaluation i need to consolidate infobjects from different source systems: SRM , R/3 and extermal WEB system trought ABAP interface. The infobjects are 0GNVENDOR (SRM web Survey for vendor Evaluation) , 0VENDOR (R/3 MM) and 0BPARTNER .
How can i solve this consolidation problem in an efficient way ?
Thanks in advance

Hi
For the implementation of Consolidated infobjects is necessary the activation of 0GN infoarea and the implementation of standard ODS 0GN_BP with his complete dataflow for key mapping. After this the ODS exports consolidated data (e.g 0GN_VENDOR>0VENDOR>0BPARTNER) to the infobjects directly with the flexible master data staging (Instruction in inforea "Inserting Infobject as data target")

Key Mapping error

Hello All,
I'm working with MDM 5.5 SP4.
I've created a repository (in the MDM Console) with the option <i>Key Mapping = Yes</i>. Then I import data from 2 client systems (CRM & ERP)successfully.
However after data consolidation, the option edit key mapping (in MDM data manager) is not available?
What is wrong? Any idea?

Hi ,
Have you mapped the remote key in your main table while importing the data in the IM ? For example, if you are working with the customer scenario - map the incoming source customer number from your CRM system to the remote key field in the destination. Make a clone of the custoemr field & then map it to the custoemr field present in the destination.
Similarly follow the same process while importing the data from you ERP/other system. Now if you right click on a record in the DM you will have the key mapping.
Hope this helps !

Anita

Display MDM key mapping information in EP Item Detail iViews

Hi,
in my repository I have the main table 'customer' including key mapping information for several client systems (master data consolidation scenario).
The customer data is diplayerd in EP using the Item Details iView. I'd additionally like to display the key mapping information in Item Details iView, for example as a separate tabstrip. Is this feature already supported by the Item Details iView? How can I implement it?
I'm using MDM 5.5 SP3 / EP6.0 SP14.
Thanks in advance,
Martin

Hi Martin,
Currently iView do not support the functionality to disply the key mapping information.
Workaround I implemented is that, added a field "source system" to main table with type lookup. Added lookup table "source systems" with list of names of client systems. This helps user search data based on client system name.
I hope this is helpful.

Remote System and Remote Key Mapping at a glance

Hi,
I want to discuss the concept of Remote System and Remote Key Mapping.
Remote System is a logical system which is defined in MDM Console for a MDM Repository.
We can define key mapping enabled at each table level.
The key mapping is used to distinguish records at Data Manager after running the Data Import.
Now 1 record can have 1 remote system with two different keys but two different records cannot have same remote system with same remote key. So, Remote key is an unique identifier for record for any remote system for each individual records.
Now whenever we import data from a Remote System, the remote system and remote key are mapped for each individual records. Usually all records have different remote keys.
Now, when syndicating back the record with default remote key is updated in the remote system that is sent by xml file format.
If same record is updated two times from a same remote system, the remote key will be different and the record which is latest contains highest remote key.
Now, I have to look at Data Syndication and Remote key.
I have not done Data Syndication but my concept tell if there is duplicate record with same remote system but different remote keys both will be syndicated back. But if same record have two remote keys for same remote system then only the default remote key is syndicated back.
Regards
Kaushik Banerjee

You are right Kaushik,
I have not done Data Syndication but my concept tell if there is duplicate record with same remote system but different remote keys both will be syndicated back.
Yes, but if they are duplicate, they needs to be merged.
But if same record have two remote keys for same remote system then only the default remote key is syndicated back.
This is after merging. So whichever remote key has tick mark in key mapping option(default) , it will be syndicated back.
Pls refer to these links for better understanding.

Key mapping

Hi All,
I have 3 fields in my source file Id,Category (Key Mapping) ,Name.
In Import Manager
I have mapped Remote Key field with ID .
Name with Name
category with Category Qualified Range (A 1-10)
I have source file like this
Id name category
11 10 A
In syndicator i have one more field Material Number .Mapped this with Material Number (should Get generated material Number )
Name with Name
Category with Category
Remote Key value with Material Number
After syndication I am getting Id values in Material Number .(Instead of 1 I am getting 11)
Can any one let me know the solution?

Got It . Should not Map Id field with the Remote key in Import Manager.

Key Mapping activates Versus Import Manager

Hello,
I have Key mapping activated in the console and Supress Unchaged Records activated in my syndication map.
Case : I import files (suppliers catalogs) to MDM via Import Manager manually. I am not sure about it, but since I activated Key mapping property,
I noticed that for each supplier ID in the Supplier table, a lot of remote keys were created. Previously I only had one remote key for each supplier and now I have a list of other supplier's ID. ( Existent or nonexistent supplier IDs). This becomes an issue for my import, because when I try to import a file where the supplier id does not exist in the MDM ( this scenario used to block my import and this is what a expect, as supplier is a key in my mapping), the system automatically maps that nonexistent supplier to other supplier.
Can you help me to understand if this is caused for the key mapping property ? Any Idea ?
Thank you very much
Luciana.

Hello Stanley,
The remote keys are form the same remote system.
My story is : When I am importing a file , suppose my file has an invalid supplier ID. ( this means this supplier is not in the lookup table Suppliers)
1)The import manager will give me a message such as : Map Supplier ID Values. This behavior was expected.
2)I decided to test the automap. The invalid supplier was not mapped to a different value. I am ok with that.
3)If the user ( dont ask me the reason ;-)) decides to map that invalid supplier ID to a different one, he/she is allowed to do so. I remember when the key mapping was not activated this option did not exist. The map and automap button was deactivated.
What I am trying to make sure is : a remote key will be created for invalid suppliers ONLY if I choose to map it with a different supplier ID.
Do you have any comments about it ?
Thank you very much
Luciana.

Key Mapping - Automation

Hi , I have a following scenario that I want to automate within MDM :
Vendor data coming from 3 remote systems ( say p-Carrd , Legacy Supply management and Invoice system) .
1. Have loaded vendor data from all the systems in MDM using import manager .
2. Have applied rules for match and then merge for likely identical records
3. Now I want to see the key mappings for the merged record to determine say what are the source records have been merged into a single record so one way is I could add the id of source systems for this MDM record but that is manual .
Is there any way to automate this i.e. whenever I merge records and clieck on view key mapping I should have all the source system ids and remote systems appearing .? Key mapping is enabled for main table i.e. Vendor master
Regards,
Amit

Hi Amit,
first before importing any records, you should add your different source systems to your repository in MDM Console. You can do this in the Admin section. Having done this you can already import your source files for your source system. This step will automatically create a key mapping entry that can be seen in MDM Data Manager. Make sure that you map the actual key field of your record to the destination Remote Key field in your import map. If you now merge records from different source systems in MDM Data Manager, the merge will automatically append the remote keys of the different systems to your merged record.
Best regards
Michael

Key Mapping in Forms 10g

Dear All,
I have migrated forms 3.0 in unix to forms 10g in windows 2003 server.
In my older version, '+' key is mapped to do COMMIT. I want to map the same key in forms 10g. i tried the same in my frmweb.res. Pls find the mapping done by me below.
*107 : 0 : "Add" : 36 : "Commit"*
This works fine.
The Issue is ... My cursor is in a text item .... I entered some data and press " + " key to save. The data is saved but at the same time the data in the text item is erased and + is getting replaced in the text item. I dont want my data to be erased and replaced with "+" symbol.
How to map the "+" just for COMMIT and should not replace the data in the text item ?
Can anyone help me to solve this issue...
Thanks in Advance

Unfortunately, sometimes the role of the developer is to educate the user/management what can/can't and should/shouldn't be done. If I were in your postition, I would make every effort to educate the user/management this this is a REALLY bad idea and encourage them to use the standard key mapping or use a modifed key mapping that uses just the F-Keys.
The problem you have to overcome is that you have to not only tell Forms to do something different when the '+' key is pressed, but you have to have a listener in your application that is listening for the '+' key and supress the '+' character. To my knowledge, this cannot be done with native Forms built-ins. You would have to write your own Java solution (JavaBean or Pluggable Java Component [PJC]) to suppress the '+'. I have found that if you can provide the user/management with a cost estimate associated with the effort needed to code a particular feature. Once they realize the level effort and more importantly the cost associated with coding a particular feature, they typically will change their mind and see reason.
I know this is not what you wanted to hear, but I hope it will help anyway. :(

Remote Key Mapping - Maintanance

Hi All,
I have Auto Id field in my repository; I would like to maintain this as my remote key value in my key mapping table ( automatically) in the following scenarios:
1. Initial Loading
2. On going ( from portal)
3. Manual creating a record
The issue is, since its auto id - not available until unless it get created?
Do I need to syndicate all and loop back as Import and update remote key??? or any webservices and so?
thanks,
Alexander.

Hi Raja
You are correct on the approach. This can be done by automatic syndication of the newly created records from any of the channels( excel import, Portal, MDM GUI) to Outbound ready folder from where the files are copied to Inbound folder and automatically imported back in MDM. Steps to be followed can be-
Create ports for syndication and auto Import
The syndication map should contain mapping for Auto ID and any other unique field for reference. Assign this to Outbound port above.
The map used for importing should contain mapping of Auto ID to remote key for the record.Assign this to Inbound port above.
Define/set up a batch job for copying the files from Outbound Ready folder to Inbound Ready folders.
hope this helps.

Remote key mapping in Category table

Hi,
We are not able to populate the Remote key in the Category table.
In standard repository the Category table only has one field 'Category Name' which is defined as Display Field.
In order for us to map customer file records which has UNSPSC code with our Category definitions we have added a field 'UNSPSC ID' in the Category table.
As 'Category Name' is the field that should be displayed we need to use the Remote Key function in order to get a unique identifier in the Category table for automatic mapping of supplier records to the Categories in the Category table. However, we are not able to populate the Remote key field in the destination table Categories.
The Category table has 'Key mapping' set to yes and in the Import manager we clone the field 'UNSPSC ID' and map the clone to destination field 'Remote Key'. However, 'Remote Key' does not come up as unique Matching field and performing the Import we can see that the Remote key is blank for all records in the category table.
Does anyone out there know what needs to be done in order to populate the 'Remote Key' in the Category table?
Please note that we are able to map and populate the Remote key field in other tables such as Product Group, Supplier etc but not in the Category table. Is there some special considerations as this is a taxonomy table?

Jan

Key mapping/ remote key

Hi All,
I have some understanding of key mapping internal functionality.
my question is ... should I use this key mapping feature from all look up tables, main table while importing from remote systems?
should all my feilds have REMOTE KEY enabled.
Lets say I have loaded data into my repository from 3 different remote systems(R1,R2,R3) using remote key feature.
Now, I want to see all the records that belong to R1 only or R2 only?
Can this be seen using remote mapping feature? or how can I see only specific records for one remote system.... should i create another field that identifies the source and just map it? ....... generally how do we handle this?
Also, have uploaded the data for my lookup table DIVISIONS,when i try syndicating it for remote R1......
in my destination preview i can see some records that belong to only R2 and R3 also. I mean I am not able to see only the
records belong to R1 system.
I mapped
division <-> div
desc     <-> desc
there are two more keys like remote key, v...... Should I also map these keys?
Pls let me know,
Thanks & regards,
Vee

Hi,
my question is ... should I use this key mapping feature from all look up tables, main table while importing from remote systems?
should all my feilds have REMOTE KEY enabled.
1. It is totally dpeend upon business requirement which table you want to make remote enable.
    The main reason to use remote key is to syndiacte the data to remote system specific.
     So if you are syndication your subtables to then it is good to make remote key enable.
2. Only tables are remote key enabled not the fields.
Lets say I have loaded data into my repository from 3 different remote systems(R1,R2,R3) using remote key feature.
Now, I want to see all the records that belong to R1 only or R2 only?
Can this be seen using remote mapping feature? or how can I see only specific records for one remote system.... should i create another field that identifies the source and just map it? ....... generally how do we handle this?
This is not possible as standard way.
But workaround is when you map the source field to remote key at destination side in import manager,just make the clone of source field and map it to the new fields to store the system from where the records came.
So in data manager you can search on this field to see only records that is specific to some remote system.
Also, have uploaded the data for my lookup table DIVISIONS,when i try syndicating it for remote R1......
in my destination preview i can see some records that belong to only R2 and R3 also. I mean I am not able to see only the
records belong to R1 system.
I mapped
division <-> div
desc <-> desc
there are two more keys like remote key, v...... Should I also map these keys?
Yes you have to map these fields as well.
Even after mapping this option if you want to syndicate all the remote system records then there is option "override remote keys".after enabling this option there is record generated for each remote system.
hope it helps you.
Thanks,
Sudhanshu

Problem with childs nodes and automatic key mapping in a Data Object

Hi experts!
I'm doing the service order tutorial from the mobile help at [this link|http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nwmobile71/helpdata/en/21/9b5b924c3b434fba4767731794b029/frameset.htm] and I have a problem...
In the topic "Modeling the Equipment Data Object", says you have to mark the "Automatic Key Mapping" checkbox. So when I had to create a third child node ( the location node ) the system raised an exception with the message "Deselect automatic key mapping flag for more than two-level nodes". I'm trying deselecting the flag and creating the location node, but when I want mark again the automatic key mapping flag, this is disabled.
What can I do to solve this and create the three child nodes with the flag marked? It's a configuration thing?
Any help it's very welcome. Thanks in advance.
Best regards,
Simon.

The thing is: Its not allowed to use automatic keymapping if you have more than two levels. This is why the message showed up, and this is why its been disabled.
What automatic keymapping does: Figures out automatically which child node belongs to which parent (by guessing from the field name and type, which fields in the child correspond to which key fields of the parent).
On three levels, this becomes more complicated => Its disabled.
How to do keymapping yourself instead of having the DOE do it automatically: Do 'Explicit keymapping' from each child to its parent. Explicit keymapping is done by clicking on the corresponding menu button in the child node. Here you need to associate child node fields (they need not be key fields of the child, but they are allowed to be that as well) to each of its parent nodes key fields (so that each child can be associated to its parent).
Cheers

REP-52005: The specified key userlogin does not exist in the key map file.

Hi,
I am using oracle 11g report server. I am getting the error of REP-52005: The specified key userlogin does not exist in the key map file.
I updated the user_string in cgicmd.dat file. My cgicmd.dat file content is below

;          e.g. http://machine/mydir/myreport.jsp?KEY
;    3. Within a reports jsp - in the rw:report custom tag
;          e.g. <rw:report parameters="KEY">
; In addition to the Reports Server command line parameters, VALUE can include special parameters
; represented as "%X", where X identifies the parameter. Currently recognized special

; %0 - %9 - 0..9 arguments from original rwservlet URL request. Note that %0 refers to the key itself.
; %* - entire contents (all arguments) of original rwservlet URL request.
; %D - request users to input database userid everytime they run the report.
; %P - request for report parameter form in HTML format. It generates the PARAMFORM=HTML

uncomment #KEYPMAPFILE=CGICMD.DAT. remove the #
then for development set
reloadkeymap=yes (same file - rwservlet.properties).
Now it should reload everytime. (otherwise for every change u need to restart oc4j_bi_forms)
(For * production* may be you want to set reloadkeymap=no once all testing is done)
see cgicmd.dat for many examples of using keymap file

Problem with key mapping in 10g

Hello,
my client is using key mapping on their reports server. It works fine except for parameter values...
I can run this URL:
http://<host>/reports/rwservlet?kr+2002+20
and there is a mapping for kr in the cgicmd.dat file like this:
kr: report=KR userid=<user>/<pw>@orcl desformat=html destype=cache p_verksamhetsar=%1
p_verksamhetsar is a parameter of the report (meaning year).
My problem is that when the report is run using the above URL the parameter gets the value 2002=
An equal sign is added! The year column is a varchar2 so the query works but gives no result.
I get the same problem if I try this URL:
http://<host>/reports/rwservlet?kr%262002%2620
If I run this URL it works fine (with a result as well):
http://<host>/reports/rwservlet?report=KR&userid=<user>/<pw>@orcl&desformat=html&destype=cache&p_verksamhetsar=2004
Any suggestions?
Kind regards
Tomas Albinsson

Hi Kranthi,
I think you mean %* at the end, meaning all parameters sent.
Yes, I use this approach now as I've been unable to get %1, %2 etc to work.
Strange, because %1 is described in the manual and I feel I use it like they say.
Well, it works in a way, just that = is appended to the values.
It has that buggy smell :)
Kind regards
Tomas
