Importing with DATA MANAGER

While directly importing with the help of data manager it gives me an error.
It doesnt import data from each and every field, it gives me two kins of error
1) some fields dont exist
2) another type of error is unable to find a lookup value.
And do suggest, even if Import manager exists when can i use this functionality.
regards

| Eleana West

First of all this Functionality can be used whenever u are sure that the data which has to be imported is free of any redundancies then only it is feasible to use this functionality.
Otherwise u need to use import mgr so that any kind of duplicates records can be eliminated.
And the errors which u are getting are
1) some fields dont exist
It gives bcoz from the source side the columns names do not match with the names on the destination side i.e.. the field names in the repository structure.
2) another type of error is unable to find a lookup value.
Even if the field names match and if the field on the destination side is a kind of lookup field i.e.. in turn its looking up in some other table then this kind of error arises.
u can bypass this error while importing thru data mgr by clicking on option button either skip value or skip record.
Hope dis clears ur doubt.
If any other queries feel free to ask

Is there a Java utility class to help with data management in a desktop UI?

Is there a Java utility class to help with data management in a desktop UI?
I am writing a UI to configure a network device that will be connected to the serial port of the computer while it is being configured. There is no web server or database for my application. The UI has a large number of fields (50+) spread across 16 tabs. I will write the UI in Java FX. It should run inside the browser when launched, and issue commands to the network device through the serial port. A UI has several input fields spread across tabs and one single Submit button. If a field is edited, and the submit button clicked, it issues a command and sends the new datum to the device, retrieves current value and any errors. so if input field has bad data, it is indicated for example, the field has a red border.
Is there a standard design pattern or Java utility class to accomplish the frequently encountered, 'generic' parts of this scenario? lazy loading, submitting only what fields changed, displaying what fields have errors etc. (I dont want to reinvent the wheel if it is already there). Otherwise I can write such a class and share it back here if it is useful.
someone recommended JGoodies Bindings for Swing - will this work well and in FX?

Many thanks for the reply.
In the servlet create an Arraylist and in th efor
loop put the insances of the csqabean in this
ArrayList. Exit the for loop and then add the
ArrayList as an attribute to the session.I am making the use of Vector and did the same thing as u mentioned.I am using scriplets...
>
In the jsp retrieve the array list from the session
and in a for loop step through the ArrayList
retrieving each CourseSectionQABean and displaying.
You can do this in a scriptlet but should also check
out the jstl tags.I am able to remove this problem.Thanks again for the suggestion.

PDF - Importing through Data Manager -

I am performing following steps. In the data manager, I am trying to import the PDF file. Then link it to the Main Table.
While importing I am using "Link to Orginal File Only"
PDF file is present in the share folder and the path of share folder does not have spaces. I get the following error message
"There was an error opening this document. This file cannot be found".
Actually file is available as well as path is correct and also acees to the sahre folder.
I tried same thing through local drive from my desktop. I encounter the same message.
When, I go and see PDFs table in the repository, I can see a record inserted with the correct path. I am not able top open up the PDF using Object --> View PDF.
I am using MDM 7.1 SP 05.
Please share your experience.

Please let me know what version of MDM you are using... Can you give a try by uploading pdf from your local system.. This will make sure that there has nothing to do with the shared drive..
Please revert with the results.
Best Regards,
Shiv

Using own SQLite DB in combination with Data Management

Hi,
Currently on a huge project we're we are using LCDS 3.1 in combination with a AIR 2.5 client.
I've been reading "Using Adobe LiveCycle Data Services ES2 version 3.1" and I have a question. In the chapter "Building an offline-enabled application" it says on the very first line:
"You can use an offline adapter with an AIR SQLite database to perform offline fills when a desktop client is disconnected from the LiveCycle Data Services server. An offline adapter contains the SQL queries for AIR SQLite for retrieving cached items like an assembler on the server retrieves items from the data source."
However, in my experience that AIR SQLite database is not just any DB but one that Datamanagment designs and generates itself, based on the Dto the DataManagement destination is managing. The offline adapter doesn't work like an assembler at all, because the documentation says you can only override the methods pertaining to constructing the WHERE, and ORDER BY parts of the queries, not the SELECT, CREATE, FROM,... parts.
In our case, we have a database on the server, constructed according to a very specific ERD, and we have a SQLite database on the client, also constructed according to a very specific ERD. What we want to do is execute every fill, create, update, delete against the offline cache and only synchronize with the backend when we want it the synchronize (technically possible by playing with the autoMerge, autoSaveCache, autoConnect,... properties). So what part of datamanagement can we customize to use our DB instead of a generated one?
Thx in advance!

You are correct in noting that Data Management does not allow you to use your own database to store offline data. This data is exclusively managed by the LCDS library for the developer. The intent is that the local cache is a reflection of the server data, not an independent copy.
If you have an existing database in AIR, then you will have much more direct control over the querying and updating of that data by using the SQLite APIs directly.
That being said, you can in essence replicate the data stored on the server, managed by Data Management, in the offline cache. In an upcoming release (winter 2011) we will have a few features ('briefcases' and a 'changes-only' fill) that will make this story even more compelling for your use cases. But even with the 3.1 functionality, you can do something like the following:
Perform a fill() to collect the data you want to have available on the client, save this in the offline cache
Construct an Offline Adapter Actionscript class that implements the fills you want to perform on the local data
Use the DataService.localFill() API to perform all of the client application fills, turn off autoCommit.
When the client is online, call commit() to store client changes and call fill() to refresh the cached data.
This should give you some ideas on how you could go about constructing your app to leverage the offline features of Data Services.

Flex data services and data managment.

Hi!
I have a question about data services with data managment enabled in Adobe Flex Builder 4. The issue is more theoretical than practical.
When I need to remove an item from the DataProvider I use the delete method of autogenerated service, but when I need to add or update item in DataProvider, I use methods of DataProvider ArrayCollection directly (addItem ...). When I try to remove item from the DataProvider with removeAt method, no changes made to database after commit. Why and how this stuff works?
P.S. Sorry for my bad English, I use Google transltate.

Thanks for the reply. Yes, I did compile all the Java and it
works OK with a simple Java program. It just will not work in a
Flex application.
The java classes are:
RRA:
package blah.myPackage;
import java.util.List;
import java.util.Collection;
import flex.data.DataSyncException;
import flex.data.assemblers.AbstractAssembler;
class RRA extends AbstractAssembler
public Collection fill( List fillParameters )
RRS service = new RRS();
return service.getSome();
RRS:
package blah.myPackage;
import java.util.ArrayList;
import java.util.List;
import java.sql.*;
import flex.EORS.*;
class RRS
public List getSome()
ArrayList list = new ArrayList();
String str = "bob";
RR rr = new RR(str);
list.add(rr);
return list;
RR:
package blah.myPackage;
class RR
private String name;
public RR() { }
public RR(String name)
this.name = name;
public String getName()
return this.name;
public void setName(String name)
this.name = name;
I started with something that retrieved data from a database
but watered it down just to try and get some kind of communication
between Flex and Java.

MDM data manager

hi experts,
i could not work with data manager, the error is prompting by telling that it cannot load the repository. can anyone will help me in solving this error.
thanks,
kannan.

Hi Kannan,
Data Manager can only connect to repositories that are loaded and running on a running MDM Server. To check this, you have to use MDM Console:
1. Start MDM Console and mount your MDM Server. A green arrow icon before your server name indicates that your MDM Server is running. If not, start the MDM Server.
2. You'll see a list of repositories available for this server. If your repository is not visible, you have to mount it first. You can do so by right-clicking on the server and choose the action from the context menu. If your repository is visible, login to the repository and check the repository state. Again a green arrow icon before your repository indicates that the repository is loaded. If not, load the repository! As soon as your repository is running, you can conntect to it with the Data Manager.

Debugging LCDS Data Management from Flexbuilder3 on Tomcat does not work

It is the same tomcat i use to run standalone.
is it a problem with the context.xml?

Here's an update for future victims doing google searches :-)
The issue appears to be related to compiz. When I'm doing basic 2D desktop with metacity everything simply rocks: the machine suspends/resumes with no issues.
When compiz is enabled, there is about 10 second delay after resume, during which the screen is black and you better not touch the keyboard! If I sit and wait for 8-12 seconds, the dark screen goes away GDM login dialog shows up. But if I touch the keyboard or the touchpad, it will either freeze or become exceptionally slow.

MDM Data Manager step-by-step process with an example

Hi All,
I recently started reading MDM. I am clear with MDM-Console concepts. But I have problem with MDM Data Manager. I am confused with data entries in qualified tables, work flows(using microsoft studio), Matching mode- rules(High treshold, low threshold) etc.. I read material posted in forums- but still I am not clear.
I need a step-by-step process for data entries with *examples*. A good example which covers all Data Manager concepts. PDF's with screen shots, videos any thing would help.
Please help me......It would be of great help.
Thanks in Advance.
Suchir

Hi Suchir ,
MDM 5.5 has 4 MDM clients to perform 4 main functionality on the MDM master records.
- Console- This is where all the Administrative work is performed
- Data Manager- This is where the actual maintainence work is done on the master data like consolidation deduplication etc.
- Import manager- Thsi is from where the source matser records are taken into MDM repoistory
- Syndicator- This is from where teh consolidated master data is send back to the target systems.
MDM Data Manager is the heart of MDM
The activities that can be performed in the MDM Data manager are:
- Data Consolidation
- Data Validation
- Data Deduplication
- Data Assignment
- Data Governanace
etc......
Qualified Table:
- Qulaified tables are used to store relational records where one field value is determining the other field or fields value.
- Qualified tables are maintained in Console and can be viewed in Data Manager
- Qualified Table are viewed under a separate section in Data Manager in the right hand side.
- Qualified table has Non qualifiers and Qualifiers.
- Non qualifiers can be seen in the Qualified table and in the linking Qualified field
- Qualifiers can be seen separately under the Qualified section in the data manager
Kindly refer the below link to know more on this:
https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/00a15239-684e-2b10-b8ae-b936b7d1c1fe
Workflows
- Workflows are designed in MDM for Governanace
- You can create the MDM workflow using the MS Visio 2003 stencils in the MDM Data manager in the record mode under the workflow table
- The saved workflow in DM can then be executed either mnaully or automatically based on teh trigger actions
- The trigger action for teh MDM wf are record Add,Update,Import,Manual
Kindly refer the below link to know more on this:
https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/60559952-ff62-2910-49a5-b4fb8e94f167 (MDM Workflows Overview)

Matching Mode
- This mode is exclusively for Master data deduplication
- We need to create Rules,Strategies,Transformation in MDM data manager in teh record mode
- Then you need to run these strategies on the selected records
- Based on your score and threshold set in the strategy MDM will identify duplicate records
- This score will be seen in teh Matching mode
- Colour coding is used along with scores to find out dupliactes
- Green - 100%dupliacte Blue- 50?% Red- No duplicate
Kindly refer the below link to know more on this:

Import Comments data and Dimension Members from csv file via Data Manager

Dear Experts,
I have two questions regarding the data manager.
Q1.Is it possible to import "Comments" from the csv file via Data Manager?
We'd like to import the amount with "Comments".
My image of csv file is like below;
ACCOUNT,CATEGORY,TIME,ENTITY,INPUTCURRENCY,AMOUNT,COMMENTS
1100000,ACTUAL,2010/06,LC,30000,This is comment
Q2.Is it possible to import the dimension "members" from the csv file via Data Manager?
We have a user-defined dimension named "Project"
and would like to import the members, instead of maintaining them in BPC administration manually.
I found an online help information which says "Import Master Data from a Data File Example",
but I could not find any relevant sample package for this.
(I tried to import the members by using "Import" package, but it failed...)
reference:http://help.sap.com/saphelp_bpc75/helpdata/en/86/8b1bfc12c94fb0b585cca70d6f1b61/content.htm
Thanks in advance for your help.
Fumi

Hi Fumi,
In this case, I would suggest you to create a customized SSIS package which will fill-in the "Comment<APP>" table, according to the csv file you have. I do not know any standard package that allows you to import comment the way you would like...
Best Regards,
Patrick

BPC10 - Data manager package for dimension data export and import

Dear BPC Expers,
Need your help.
I am trying to set up a data manager package for first time to export dimension - master data from one application and import in another application ( both have same properties) .
I created a test data manager package from Organize > add package > with process chain /CPMB/EXPORT_MD_TO_FILE and Add
In the advance tab of each task there are some script logic already populated. please find attached the details of the script logic written under each of the tasks like MD_Source, concvert and target .
I have not done any chnages in the script inside the task .
But when i run the package , I have selected a dimension 'Entity' but in second prompt ,it ask for a transformation file , and syatem autometically add the file ... \ROOT\WEBFOLDERS\COLPAL\FINANCE\DATAMANAGER\TRANSFORMATIONFILES\Import.xls
I have not changed anything there
in the next prmpt , it ask for a output file ..and it won't allow me enter the file name .....i
Not sure how to proceed further.
I shall be greatfull if someone guide me from your experiance how to set up a simple the data manager package for master data export from dimension . Should I update the transformation file in the script for import file and output file in the advance tab. how and what transformation file to be created and link to the data manager package for export / import .
What are the steps to be executed to run the package for exporting master data from dimension and import it another application .
Thanks in advance for your guidance.
Thanks and Regards,

1. Perhaps you want to consider a system copy to a "virtual system" for UAT?
2. Changes in QAS (as with PROD as well) will give you the delta. They should ideally be clean... You need to check the source system.
Another option is to generate the profiles in the target system. But for that your config has to be sqeaky clean and in sync, including very well maintained and sync'ed Su24 data.

MDM Console
The MDM Console allows the system manager to administer and monitor the MDM Server, and to create, maintain the structure of, and control access to the MDM repositories themselves. Records are not entered or managed with the MDM Console, but rather with client apps such as the MDM Client.
MDM Client(data manager)
The MDM Client is the primary client of the MDM Server, and is the program most users see on their PCs. It allows users to store, manage and update master data consisting of text, images, and other rich content, and to create taxonomies, families, and relationships. Other clients include the Import Manager, the Image Manager, and the Syndicator.
Import Manager
Allows you to import master data from most types of flat or relational electronic
source files (e.g. Excel, delimited text, SQL, XML, and any ODBC-compliant source),
and to restructure, cleanse, and normalize master data as part of the import process.
<i>2. How the 3 is interlinked</i>
--->
Suppose you are sending vendor information to MDM repository be sending IDOC from R/3. Then the whole process can go as... IDOC will be sent to XI, so XI will generate XML file that contains data. Then import manager can import this file and will so place the data in repository.
Now if you want to send data in MDM repository, the process goes reverse way. Syndicator will generate flat/xml file. This file will be given to XI so that XI will generate IDOC out of it and will send it to XI. This whole process ensures data consistancy
For details refer this link

Data Manager - export/import

My questions is as follows:
Export from: Oracle 8.17 (on Unix)
Import to: Oracle 8.05 (Windows2000)
How should I set the parameters in the Data Manager to make all tables/procedures/triggers etc.. come across complete and undamaged.?
I have tried many things - but usually the procedures become invalid and no triggers come across.
I have used IMP80 as well for importing with same result.

This is exactly why everyone out there should not get too comfortable using OEM to manage their databases. If you know how to do a task using the command-line, then by all means do it that way. Use OEM or DBA Studio for things you're not so sure of or if you need a visual to help you do it right. Command-line is quicker and more percise because you have total control of what info you're sending to the db.
Others may disagree with the advice I'm giving - which is to NOT use OEM if you know how to do the task via command-line - and further input is welcome. What do others think about this?????????

How to import the data to Data manager

Hi All,
I am new to MDM and need your help in handling the following issue
In our setup we are sending the Customer master data from R/3->XI->MDM (R/3-> XI IDOCs, XI->MDM XML files).
with the help of extraction job in R/3 IDOCs r generated and XI has onverted these IDOCs to XML Files and created at MDM Server. Now my Question is how to import the Data from these XML files to Data Manager !!!!
Note : Import Map settings are done already in the system.
Can any one help me the steps requeired to get this data to Data manager .
and am I need to do some activity in MDM to import the data to Data manager each and every time or is there any automatic way of doing this .
Please guide me.
Thanks in advance!

Hi MDM User,
Generally there are 2 cases while importing the data,
1) Initial Load
2) Delta Load
Initial Load means importing the data into MDM at first time.This is usually done by manual importing
without using import server.
Delta Load means importing the data into MDM when we have changes to existing data or added new data
to existing data.This is usually done by automatically using import server.
To manually import the data,just create a remote system and port in console and login into import manager
using remote system.Create ,save the map and execute the map.There is no other configurations needed.
To automatically import the data without manual intervention,we go for import server.
To let this happen we need to set some configuarations in mdis.ini file of import server.
Give the repository name,username and password which are set in console for that repository and also
give schedule time based on which import server picks the file from ready folder.
Go to the import manager , change the map and import action depends on your requriment and save that
map.
and also you need to set port type as inbound and automatic and select the map which you saved earlier in
MDM console.
As soon as we start the import server, it picks the file from ready folder of MDM server based on
configurations which we set in mdis.ini file and executes the map.
Here i am giving complete path of ready folder.
SAP MDM 5.5> Server>Distributions>bp1bocap080.bp.co_MSQL> BP3_PoC_Customer> Inbound>Siebel> SIEBEL_OB_CUS_SIEBELCUS01> Ready)
This path has to be given in target directory of receiver communication channel of XI so that it puts XML
file in the above path.
For better understanding,go through below blogs.
