Mass updating a multi-valued field- to append the new value

I have a question on multi-valued fields:
I have store table with 5 multi-valued fields, say MLB, soccer, college FTBL, college Basketball, etc. 
A store can have 4 MLBs, 2 soccer teams, and so on. 
Say, there is a new MLB that came out called Mexico MLB team. 
A user wanted to add this to 30 stores using a mass update.  But remember the 30 stores can have totally different sets of values in the multi-valued fields.
How can I add this new value while still preserving the MLB team’s values of each store record?
Does MDM not support this feature?
I am using SAP MDM SP6
An answer would be highly appreciated.
Thanks
Savi

Savi,
I assume you are defined these fields as multi-value lookup and linked to main table. In general, you can not because it will mess up and overwrite your multi-value entries for all of your 30 store records.
Here is something in MDM come in handy. It is following the same concept but design your model a little differently. If you model your multi-value fields into qualified lookup table, it will be easier and optimized to handle.
You can select all 30 records and mass-update with adding the new MLB entry into your Q-lookup table. Once you save, this mass-update action will respect all your diversity of each individual records with the new value added.
Hope this helps
If this answers your question, please kindly reward the points.

  • Debugging field-exit with the new debugger

    Hi everyone,
    I could debug a field-exit with the new debugger, but I cannot do it anymore. I  chose the options "system debug" and "update debug" in the configuration menu that time but it's not working now.
    Before you answer "<b>FIELD-EXIT CANNOT BE DEBUG!</b>", take a look first at the The New ABAP Debugger 7.00 Presentation where it mentions that's possible.
    And also I saw a post: Re: activation of field exit for particular sereen
    where Ramesh Kashigari said that it's possible too.
    Anyone knows How can I configurate the new debbuger for this?

    Hi Florian,
    I agree that it should now be possible. I saw this on a SAP Java Development Day at the start of '04 when NetWeaver 04 was launched.
    I saw it being used in the NetWeaver Development Studio.
    It seemed very clever indeed. You could debug the Java code then jump to the ABAP debugger when the BAPI is called then jump back into the Java code when the BAPI call is completed. It seemed to work very well and did not have any issues.
    Hope this helps.
    Kind regards

  • HT1688 I tried to update my iPhone 5 this morning with the new software update and now it won't turn on. When I plug into my itunes account, it says my phone is in recovery mode. Was working perfectly prior to the attempt to update. How do I fix this?

    I tried to update my iPhone 5 this morning with the new software update. Now my phone won't turn on. When I plug into iTunes, it says that my phone is in recovery mode and that it needs to be restored to factory settings. Is there a way to fix this without losing my settings? Why would this happen on a software update?

    That is not what it says. Read the message again. It's telling you it has detected an iPhone in recovery mode and it must be restored.
    Restore it. You don't have a choice at this point.

    If your iMac has a PowerPC processor, Leopard OS 10.5.x is the max OS. If your iMac has an Intel processor, it can run Snow Leopard OS 10.6.x or possibly higher.
    Once we know your iMac model, we can better recommend what OS X version.

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    If your problem persists get yourself a micro USB cable (sold separately), you can restore your Apple TV from iTunes:
    Remove ALL cables from Apple TV. (if you don't you will not see Apple TV in the iTunes Source list)
    Connect the micro USB cable to the Apple TV and to your computer.
    Reconnect the power cable (only for Apple TV 3)
    Open iTunes.
    Select your Apple TV in the Devices list, and then click Restore.
    (You may already have a micro USB cable if you have a camera or other digital device)

    Are you sure it's not 6.1.6?  If it is, that is the latest iOS version that will work on a 4th generation iPod Touch.  Later versions require a 5G iPod which has twice as much RAM.

    You may need to purge your Bridge cache for the folder with Mark II raws in it using:
    Bridge / Tools / Cache / Purge Cache For Folder current-folder-name
    I can see Mark II files in Bridge 5.0.2 for CS6 after installing the ACR 8.8 update, but I didn't try viewing thumbnails in the folder before I had ACR 8.8 so there were no cached "cannot read this file" thumbnails..
    If purging the cache and letting it rebuild doesn't work check to see what version of ACR Bridge has by using ridge / Edit / Camera Raw Preferences... (that's the Windows menu path).  Here is what I see:

  • I just updated to IOS 10.10.3 and the new photos app.  How do you hide photos so they don't show anywhere?

    I just updated to IOS 10.10.3 and the new photos app.  How do you hide photos and videos so they only show in the hidden album.  Thanks

    When publishing from Lightroom to Facebook, you are always sending them to an album. Lightroom doesn't generate you posts though. Generally Facebook is smart enough to create just one post for all of your images published to a single album. If you are getting individual posts per photo there isn't anything you can do from Lightroom's side to change that. Try refreshing you page your newsfeed or timeline to verify whether individual posts are being created or if it's just a timing issue.
    Also, uploading images to Facebook will always result in your file having a different file name on the server and in the page code. No avoiding this, no matter your method of upload.

    Delete what? The ID's? They cannot be deleted - you just quit using it.
    If you still have one old ID - that you have purchased content with - you are saying that the password no longer works with that ID? Did you try to reset the password for that ID?

    iTunes needs QuickTime to work.
    I think you will be all set if you install QuickTime standalone, not regular

    Download the isntall file to your hard drive - don't install it over the internet.
    If you are running anything Norton, turn that completely off before installing.

  • Issues updating/setting multi value lookup columns via powershell

    Hi All,
         I have an issue updating multi values in a lookup field via powershell
    I can update a single value  lookup field as below but can't get to update if its multi value.
    As stated below when I hardcode it. It works.
    No idea what 'm missing. Any help will be appreciated.
    #Hardcoded works below as you can see i'm setting 3 values
    $array = @($realval.Split(';'))
    for ($i = 0; $i -lt $array.Count - 1; $i += 2)
    $word = $array[$i].Trim('#')
    $number = $array[$i+1].Trim('#')
    "$number $word"
    $lookupvalue1 = GetLookUpValues -val $number
    [Microsoft.SharePoint.SPFieldLookupValueCollection] $itemValues = New-Object Microsoft.SharePoint.SPFieldLookupValueCollection
    [Microsoft.SharePoint.SPFieldLookupValue] $lookupvalue = New-Object Microsoft.SharePoint.SPFieldLookupValue
    [Microsoft.SharePoint.SPFieldLookupValue] $lookupvalue2 = New-Object Microsoft.SharePoint.SPFieldLookupValue
    [Microsoft.SharePoint.SPFieldLookupValue] $lookupvalue3 = New-Object Microsoft.SharePoint.SPFieldLookupValue
    $lookupvalue.LookupId = 1
    $lookupvalue2.LookupId = 2
    $lookupvalue3.LookupId = 6
    $itemValues.Add($lookupvalue)
    $itemValues.Add($lookupvalue2)
    $itemValues.Add($lookupvalue3)
    #$itemValues.Add($lookupvalue)
    $CMRSItems["Event Type"] = $itemValues;
    Write-Host "items:" $itemValues
    $CMRSItems.Update()
    # This works when its updating only one value but when it needs to update multivalue it only updates the last one
    #so for example with the lookupvalue above only 6 gets updated below
    $array = @($realval.Split(';'))
    for ($i = 0; $i -lt $array.Count - 1; $i += 2)
    $word = $array[$i].Trim('#')
    $number = $array[$i+1].Trim('#')
    #$number
    "$number $word"
    #send param to GetLoolValues func to return records as SPFieldLookupValue
    $lookupvalue1 = GetLookUpValues -val $number
    #I can view the lookupvalue returned successfully
    #Write-Host $lookupvalue1
    [Microsoft.SharePoint.SPFieldLookupValueCollection] $itemValues = New-Object Microsoft.SharePoint.SPFieldLookupValueCollection
    #This LookupId returns 3 values like on the hardcoded one above like so :1,2,6
    $lookupvalue.LookupId = $number
    $itemValues.Add($lookupvalue)
    $CMRSItems["Event Type"] = $itemValues;
    #I can view the items returned successfully
    Write-Host "items:" $itemValues
    $CMRSItems.Update()

    The problem I can see with your code is that the below line of code, you are instantiating inside the for loop. This should have been outside the for loop as by keeping it inside the loop you are overriding the value.
    [Microsoft.SharePoint.SPFieldLookupValueCollection] $itemValues = New-Object Microsoft.SharePoint.SPFieldLookupValueCollection
    Please have a look at the below solution and modify your code as per your requirement. What I am trying to achieve in the below code is that I have a listA in which one of the field is being used as a multi-lookup in my listB.
    $lookupCollection = $something.split(";")
    $LookupMasterList=$web.Lists["ListA"]
    [Microsoft.SharePoint.SPFieldLookupValueCollection] $lookupValueCollection = New-Object Microsoft.SharePoint.SPFieldLookupValueCollection
    #Get the Lookup Item from Parent List
    foreach($item in $lookupCollection){
    IF([string]::IsNullOrEmpty($item.trim())) {
    continue;
    $LookupItem = $LookupMasterList.Items | Where-Object { $_.Item("FieldInternalName") -eq $item.trim()}
    if($LookupItem -ne $null)
    $myLookup = New-Object Microsoft.Sharepoint.SPFieldLookupValue($LookupItem.ID,$item.trim())
    $lookupValueCollection.Add($myLookup);
    #Set the Lookup field value
    if([string]::IsNullOrEmpty($lookupValueCollection)){
    continue;
    else{
    $newItem["Lookupfieldinternalname"] = $lookupValueCollection
    The above logic has no hard coding and it fetches the lookup information directly from the master list and generates a collection based on that. You can modify the above code as per your requirement.

  • Mass update of BUT000-Z field, but can't use FM BAPI_BUPA_CENTRAL_CHANGE

    After a data load we have realised that one of the Z fields has not been populated with data and so as a result of this I am attempting to write a quick program to update this Z field. The field is located in table BUT000, but of course I need to update this using the appropriate FM rather than direct table update.
    There seems to be a few' BUT000' FM's and a number of 'CRM_BUPACHANGE' FM's as well. Has anyone used an FM for such an update before?. I think I need to identify the best FM for the job.
    I have also looked at FM BAPI_BUPA_CENTRAL_CHANGE as well, but that does NOT contain the Z field to change.
    With regards
    J Sapora

    Hi Markus,
    I agree with you, but MASS is something very straight forward, plus, don't support paralelization, so if you want to change a smalll amout of data or you really don't care about performance (I mean for the process is the same if the update takes 1 or 4 hours) and the changes doesn't imply a business logic, the user has all the control of which fileds should be changed and for which value, then it's a good option.
    But when extra logic is needed, Mass can become a nightmare, I will write a blog about this if I have the time.
    Cheers!

  • Mass update of a custom field at Product Revenue level

    We are trying to update a custom field at Product Revenue level using the Opportunity Web Service. The webservice call is timing out as we have thousands of Opportunities.
    I would appreciate if anybody gives input on how we can massively update a custom field using Opportunity Web Service.
    OR
    Is there a way to mass update a custom field at Product Revenue level other than using a web service.
    Thanks for your help!

    If you are not very much obsessed with Webservices, the other workaround is the Data Loader Tool. It was discussed earlier in this forum.
