About key mapping

Hi,
Our report server enabled key mapping which includes parameter like userid and server. The key also include paramform=no. Question is can I override the parameters defined in the key entry already by passing it in URL again? For example, for some report, I need paramform=yes?
Right now it seems to ignore my pass in .
Thanks

It has been my experience that any parameter put in the CGI file CANNOT be overidden at runtime. If its there, that's what you get. We discovered the same thing. Our solution: do not include %P in the cgi file but do include %*. The %* allows you to optionally pass any of the parameters in your report. If you want a paramform, then include in the http line '&paramform=html'. If you do not want the parameter form, then do not add this.
Hope this helps.

Question about key mapping for bank data in SP3 standard Vendor Repository

Hello Colleagues:
The situation is the following:
1) MDM Standard vendor repository does not use Key Mapping for the qualified table data "Bank Details". This makes sense because normally you would pay a vendor in the same account and bank regardless of the company or R/3 system you are paying him from.
2) However, here in my project customer don't have the same bank data for all of the 3 R/3 Systems. Furthermore, they would like to pay a vendor in a diferent bank and account number; depending on where the payment is generated (Company or R/3 system).
Because of this, I though about creating a lookup table for the banks which would use key mapping. I did this and I had no trouble importing bank data in to it.
Now I have this tables:
1) Banks: Lookup Flat:
Country and Bank Key as display fields.
2) Bank Details: Qualified Flat:
2.a) Field "Bank" as a non-qualifier display lookup field which points to a record on "Banks" table (Described in number 1).
2.b) The rest of the fields (Account number, Account holder, Reference, etc.) as qualifier non-display fields.
This aproach works well in data manager.
However, when I try to import vendors from R/3, I'm not being able to map the bank details, not even with "compound field" functionality, because I cannot map the display fields in the "Banks" lookup table (Described in number 1); in the "Map Fields/Values" tab in the Destination fields pane, it won't show any fields from this table.
Also, I'm not very sure if I will be able to syndicate this data back to the R/3 systems correctly, this is; replicate only the banks which exist on each R/3 client system.
Any ideas on how to solve this problem? Please help.
Best Regards,
Jorge.

Steps in Key mapping

Hi all,
i have gone through many forum's regarding key mapping.
i can see that the following are used..
--> remote systems
--> key mapping option in table-field properties
--> key mapping option in table properties.
-->key generation(none, range, qualified range) field in remote system properties.
But never understood like in which order we need to define all the above, what is the relation b/w them.
i have gone through some theory in sdn regarding key mapping but unable to get the logic..
can any one one show me with 2 records in 2 tables so, that i can clear my confusion.
Thanks in advance.

phani

Hi Phani,
first you should understand the basic idea of key mapping. MDM usually wants to consolidate master (objects like vendors, customers, and so on) and/or reference (lookup tables like countries, regions, and so on) data. The idea is to load this data from various remote systems into MDM, compare and match the data, and in some cases merge multiple records into a single one. Let's take an example.
Image you have attache two remote systems to MDM. The first is an ERP system, the second a CRM system. Both system contains countries as reference data. In ERP, your country India looks like
Name = India
Code = INDIA
whereas in CRM it looks like
Name = India
Code = IND
It is obvious that the country is the same, but the systems use a different internal code. Now you load this data into MDM. What do you do? Do you want to create two records having different codes? Or do you want to "merge" the indentical records into a single one. The common decision in MDM is the second one.
But what happens now if you send customers from ERP and CRM to MDM? Usually the Customer message contains the Country CODE but not the Country NAME. From ERP the message could look like:
Customer = Mr. X
Country = INDIA
whereas from CRM the message could look like
Customer = Mr. X
Country = IND
Surely you want to map the different code in both case to the same country "India". That's why you use key mapping in MDM. Key Mapping allows MDM to store different codes for the same data. So in MDM you store just one record, but if you receive and/or send data from and/or to remote systems, you can always ensure that you store and/or send the correct codes.
Hope that clarifies your doubts about key mapping in general?
OK, now regarding your question about "Update NULL fields only":
In Import Manager you have several options for data import. If you import for the very first time (for RS1), your table in MDM is usually empty. That why you need to "Create" the records. If you import the second time (for RS2), your table in MDM already contains data. Depending on the matching field for import, several options are now possible. If Import Manager is not able to match the record you want to import against any other existing in the repository, you have to "Create" the new record. If Import Manager is able to match the record that you want to import with a record of your repository table, you can choose what happens next. "Update NULL fields only" compares the record you want to import with the existing values in MDM. In your case, following info is already part in MDM:
Country = India
Code = INDIA
Remote Key RS1 = INDIA
Remote Key RS2 = NULL
Now the file you want to import contains the following values:
Remote System = RS2
Country = India
Code = IND
Import Manager identifies that only "Remote Key RS2" is NULL. All other fields already have values. As you choose to "Update NULL Fields only", only Remote Key RS2 gets a new value. If you choose a different option, e.g. "Update All Mapped Fields" Import Manager would update the Country and Code fields, too.
Best regards

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 / URL hiding etc

Hi All APex Fans,
I'm in the process fo deploying a public application . ( i.e. zero authentication)
My URL is a typical HTMLDB URL which reveals certain key fields depending on which page of the application you are :
https://xx.xx.xx/htmldb/production/f?pp=xxx:2:1276630965096638381::NO::P2_USERTYPE,P2_USERID:employee,E0999
In other words , Managers are horrified by the fact that this URL reveals a bunch of key fields and information .
I can hide the first part using virtual host - but How do I create "key mappings" for the rest of the URL that starts with ?p=.....
Is there such a thing called Key Mapping available for HTMLDB ? ( similar to what we have in Oracle Reports)
Or is it much preferable to use Frames ( where the main frame stays static to the main URL and the Window frames play the HTML DB application pages without revealing HTMLDB URLS ?
Could be a dumb question - but I am also being a mouth piece to some Oracle Reports experts who feel very strongly about HTMLDB URLS which they said reveal too much of its key info.
Any suggestions ?
Indira

Only pass the items that you need to (for example primary keys of records you wish to manipulate). Most other item values can actually be set in the page itself.REPLY : That's exactly what I do / did.
typically , the USERID does not show on any page at all- it only shows up IF and only IF i open a "drill-down" pop-up in a new window from a main page that brances to it using a USERID.
- pop-ups typically don't show URLS. I know.
But I was only playing both good and devil's advocate to explain my anti-SQL-Injection strategy . I was trying to explain how I made sure "malicious users" won't be able to play with URL to reveal confidential info because I have other checks in the SQL code to block confidentation info, even if the user=USERID is displayed if that USERID is set from the browser.
Unfortunately , I had to show them how you could substitute portions of the pop-up URL , for the actual URL and play with URL.
( I won't say I have shot myself in the foot) - But now the users are expressing general concerns about setting this USERID from the browser.
Who said DBA's and developers only struggle with machines ... ? It's complicated for users to understand .
Are your managers horrified because they can see the information? Or are >>they horrified because they believe that if they can see it then it must be insecure? REPLY :: Yes - they horrified because they believe that if they can *see
I think the use of FRAMES can definitely soothe the climate because the blanket/main FRAME will always show a lovely https://xxx.xxx.com/myapp/
no matter which page of the application you are in.
Due Dilligence .
Any other ideas ?

Foreign key Mapping based on Data - in SQL Developer Data modeler

Team
Do SQL Developer Data modeler supports Foreign Key mapping based on the Data in the Schema rather defined at the DDL ? For e.g if we implement a Objects Relation ship mapping in Data base, we don't define Foreign keys at table creation.
Toad does this feature through "AUTOMATIC FOREIGN KEYS MAPPING IN TOAD DATA MODELER" more info at (http://toadworld.com/Blogs/tabid/67/EntryId/905/Automatic-Foreign-Keys-Mapping-in-Toad-Data-Modeler.aspx)
any one know how to implement through some scripts also helps me
Regards
Raj

If you have table PKs defined and the candidate columns match those PK columns, then you can use the Discover Foreign Keys utility. Right mouse over the relational model name (node) in the left browser. It is about half way down the menu. I did a blog post about it last week on kentgraziano.com.

Keyboard Function-Key mapping in Forms 10gAS

Greetings,
Can anyone help with a quick outline of the way keyboard function keys are implemented on the Application Server in Forms 10g?
My situation is that I have two unix servers, one for Development, one for Production. When running my Forms from a browser window, one of the servers responds to the F8 key for Execute-Query, the other server does not.
I presume the mapping is done on the server, with some sort of configuration file. Perhaps something's been overridden by mistake somewhere. I have checked forms.conf, forms.properties, formsweb.cfg and frmweb.res, and cannot see anything that might relate to these Keyboard Function-Key settings. I've also tried finding a Developers Reference Manual online, but have had no luck.
It's bound to be something really simple, but I can't seem to crack it. Do you know what I'm missing?
Pete ?:|

There are two basic versions of key mapping fmrweb.res files. Forms is released with a fmrweb.res file that has Ctrl+S for commit.
But there is also a fmrpcweb.res file that can be used in place of the other -- you just rename it as fmrweb.res in the other's place.
Both files are simple text files you can edit with Notepad or other simple text editors.
You can find more about fmrweb.res in the first post (a ways down) in this thread:

Update key mapping via web service

Hi ,
I have a question about edit key mapping. The problem is that we create vendors in MDM and syndicate them to different ERP systems. To decide which system a new vendor/changes must be send to, I need the Edit Key Mapping, but the users do not want to enter this information manually and I do not see how I can create key mapping automatically.
We are working on a new solution where vendors are entered in sharepoint and updated in MDM via web services. I would like to know if one of you know if key mapping can be maintained via a web service.
Kind regards
Jonna

Problems with ViaVoice under Leopard, especially key mapping problems

ViaVoice's behavior has changed considerably under Leopard. First I will discuss the key mapping problem, since I'm eagerly looking for an answer to this problem. At the end of this post, I will voice some of the other problems I've experienced for those who may be interested. The key mapping problem may be specific to the fact that I use a foreign keyboard with a US version of ViaVoice.
INTRO:
I have used ViaVoice on my Mac for years, more or less without problems (ViaVoice's bugginess is notorious).
Those who know ViaVoice will know that one has two general options for dictation. One can dictate into ViaVoice's so-called SpeakPad, which allows special formatting, editing and dictation error correction within the dictated text, or one can dictate into "external" software such as Microsoft Word, in which case ViaVoice just sends a string of characters to that software. SpeakPad appears to make strong use of the operating system's built-in functionality for character formatting, document formatting, etc.
*MY PROBLEM*
I have a German keyboard on my PowerBook, yet dictate in US English. When I dictated into SpeakPad under Tiger, all characters appeared correctly. However, when I dictated into Microsoft Word using Tiger, I had to switch the keyboard mapping from German to US to get all characters (that means including the characters that are located at different positions on a German keyboard than they are on a US keyboard such as y, z, apostrophes and parentheses) to appear correctly.
Under Leopard, things have changed. Now it doesn't matter whether I dictate into SpeakPad or Word; the results are the same and many characters do not appear correctly.
If set to a German keyboard, y and z appear as expected. To name a few irregularities:
"(" appears as ")"
")" appears as "="
apostrophes appear as "#" and
";" appears as ","
If set to a US keyboard, y and z are interchanged. "(" and ")" appear as expected. Apostrophes appear as "\" and ";" appears as ","
By comparison, if typed (as opposed to dictated, as in the examples above) "correctly" (i.e. based on the letters printed on the keyboard) on a German keyboard set to imitate a US keyboard:
y and z are interchanged
apostrophes appear as "|"
"(" appears as "*"
")" appears as "(" and
";" appears as the symbol for "less than"
Since I don't have a US keyboard, I can't say how it would behave if set to imitate a German keyboard, i.e. if there's a correlation to the results I get when I dictate.
Since I was previously able to dictate correctly into SpeakPad by setting the keyboard to "German" and into Word by setting the keyboard to "US," I presume that this is a problem in Leopard, not ViaVoice.
*OTHER PROBLEMS WITH VIAVOICE UNDER LEOPARD*
In addition to the aforementioned key mapping problems (that may be specific to those of us with foreign keyboards), ViaVoice appears to have lost considerable functionality in Leopard. I cannot access SpeakPad's Preferences and the correction window. Moreover, the traffic-light like window buttons have disappeared from the VoiceCenter (although they work if you click where they should be). SetupAssistent appears to function.
I've written to Nuance about these problems, but have little hope that they will invest the time in producing a patch since they haven't released any updates since 2003.

Thrums1,
I've never had to "register" ViaVoice after updating the system. I thus suspect you haven't fully followed my above, three-step advice (particularly step 3).
1) Reinstall ViaVoice from CD.
2) Update to the latest version (using the patch downloadable from Nuance's website).
3) Replace the “temp” and “users” folders (in the "ViaVoice" folder at the upper level of your home directory) by a previous copy thereof. When I say previous copy, I mean a copy from when ViaVoice was still working properly, e.g. a copy from when it was running under Tiger.
As I said, I've gotten ViaVoice to survive several system updates by following the above steps. To my knowledge, the last step is critical since it saves you from having to reconfigure ViaVoice under the new operating system (in this case Leopard). I suspect that ViaVoice is crashing on your system because it's trying to start some module of the SetUpAssistant that is incompatible with Leopard (as many are). If you instead use old copies of the "temp" and "users" folders (from the previous system), then ViaVoice doesn't have to go through the initial "registration" process; ViaVoice doesn't need the SetUpAssistant; and all is (more or less) fine.
Good luck!
BTW, to my knowledge, Dictate only runs on Intel Macs. It thus won't run on a G4 iBook, just as it won't run on my PowerBook G4.

UK PC Keyboard Key Mapping problem

I've tried two UK PC Keyboards on my new mini. Both work fine apart from a few keys which are mapped incorrectly.
The most annoying are that the @ (at sign) and " (double quotes) are the wrong way round.
Is there a setting I can change (or some software I can install) to re-map these keys? I've tried changing the keyboard type in system preferences but it has no effect.
Everything else on the device is superb!
Thanks

Incredibly, i found the easiest solution to this problem (no, not the solution of buying a Mac keyboard!) lay on Microsoft's website...
I was using a Microsoft Natural Multimedia keyboard with my mini. I went there out of interest to see if there were drivers for it that would allow the use of some of the media keys (and there were incidentally, but that is off-topic!).
I went to http://www.microsoft.com/mac and followed a link to hardware. I forget exactly what route i followed, but i besically tracked down the mac drivers for the natural multimedia keyboard. In addition to the drivers download there was a microsoft keyboard layout download as well. I suspect this layout would be available as a download whichever keyboard you picked.
After installing this layout i then had an extra option in the international settings box called "British - Microsoft". Bingo! Job done.
Now i still found it frustrating since everything you read and all the software you have still talks about keys that the MS keyboards simply don't have and you have to remember that the "command" key is the "windows" key, etc., etc. In the end i just gave in and bought one of the apple pro keyboards. It gave me two extra usb ports and is LOVELY to use.
Bit of a learning curve mind since the @'s and "'s are in the "wrong" places if you come from the MS world, but i figured i may as well go through the entire learning curve and take that on board as well

Suggested alternative to key mapping?

Hello!
I started using Abelton live for putting together easily accessible virtual instruments for live performance. For example, if my band performs the entire Dark Side of the Moon album, I can create each song in order of the album with the necessary pianos,synths, and organs for each and easily enable/disable them with the use of key mapping (assigning on screen functions to keys on my laptops keypad, just to be thorough) I have a M-Audio Keystation 61 which is a very simple midi controller and doesn't have any knobs for a lot of on screen control. So the use of key mapping is important for me.
I like the layout and simplicity of Mainstage and would rather use it for this sort of thing, but without key mapping I have no quick way of (for example) muting and unmuting instruments within each song/performance other than trying to do it with the mouse, which is too sketchy for live performance.
Also with Abelton, I could assign the volume slider on my midi controller to multiple channels/instruments, i.e. control volume for 2 or 3 instruments at once, mainstage only lets me assign one on screen function per project to a single midi hardware control
I don't know a ton about Mainstage, so my questions are ...
1. Is there an alternative to key mapping for mainstage?
2. Is it possible to assign multiple on screen functions to one hardware control?
Thanks!

Hi

If you are 'short' of buttons/switches on your keyboard controller, you could create screen-controls assigned to (say) the lowest notes on your keyboard, and then map them to Next/Previous patch Actions in order to change Patches in MS.
Lootinant wrote:

Multiple mappings are possible via the Screen Control Inspector (or the new Assignments and Mappings Pane). Select the Screen Control, and in the Inspector click the '+" button (top right of the Inspector) to add an additional mapping.

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 - 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
