Accessing Unix folder while selecting source file in Import Manager,GUI

Hi,
I am using MDM 5.5 sp04.I am trying to use MDIS to automat the importing process.
Challenge is to use a map in port which will be used by MDIS.
Our MDM server system is in Unix. How I can select input file residing in unix folders( say ready folder of Material) from IM tool drop down so as to save that map and assign that map in Port.
Is a file can be used from window folder in IM ,save the map and assign it in Inbound port ?
Is there will be an conflict in this case since MDIS will be receiving the file from Ready folder(in unix) but the map of the inbound port will be having the source in different folder in window?
Appreciate your help/suggestion

Hello:
you shouldn't need to do that under MDIS. The thing is, use the Import Manager on windows to create the mapping file (importing a file also in windows)
When you created the mapping file, assign it to a port. Ports include a specific folder where you need to put the new file to be imported. Please refer to port documentation to find out where this folder is.
The map only has the "mapping structure", and the file will be taken from the port specification

  • How to load data using two maps for the same source file in Import Manager

    Hi,
    I am trying to load the source data to MDM using two map files, since one map is too big (creating memory error).
    However the first map data able to see after loading (SAP data) but when loading second map(nonSAP data) using the remote key to match the previously loaded SAP key ,even if MDM is processing the data it is not reflecting in data manager.
    Is there any reason for this.
    Appreciate your suggestion and tips on this.
    regrds,
    Reo

    Hi Reo,
    As ur requirement seems,In the second pass perform recording matching by select default import action as "<b>update null fields only"</b> for those data records which are matching and "<b>create</b> " for those data records which are not matching with previous data records from SAP system.
    If you define "update null fields only", then only the key of the new record from NON SAP will get appended to the existing record. And if you select "create" then it will create new records and will apply NON SAP key on it.
    Please check the remote key values using data manager.Key is applied in the records or not.
    Remember that import maps are client specific. Remote key comprises of both key and client system.So be sure that you are connecting to two different client systems.
    I have tried this and this is working fine on my system.

  • How do I save PDF files by default to the folder of the source file?

    How do I save PDF files by default to the folder of the source file with Acrobat 9.0.0 Standard?

    I am not seeing that behaviour. If I right-click a link to a .pdf file, I get the file saved with the original filename.
    Maybe one of the settings in about:config controls that?
    pdfjs.previousHandler.preferredAction is a setting that has a value of 4 with my setup. I have no idea what that means, and I could not find any explanation anywhere. You could try using different numbers for that value and see if any make any difference. Why has nobody bothered to explain that setting anywhere?

  • Import two file with Import manager

    Hello expert MDM,
    I needs  to import  two Source file from different systems (Navision and ERP 2005). I  am not using XI. but i have extract the both source manually and i have two XML-file with duplicate. I would like to import the both file with Import manager. I have import one file successfully. But I can not import the second file because the Button  "Get the second Source" is faded out. Could you give me Input how can I solve this problem?
    Thanks in advance

    Hi badang,
       To Import Second file please follow these steps:
       In Import Manager after you import your first file then go to <b>File --> Connect to Source</b>  in import manager, a new window comes then specify your second file name and perform Import normally.
    Regarding the Get the second source i found this documentation from reference guide:
    The Port drop-down list includes an entry for each inbound port you define in the MDM Console for the selected Remote System; those that do not have files waiting or are locked by another user are disabled in the drop-down list. When you select a port, the
    MDM Import Manager automatically selects the first source data file that is waiting to be processed; you can then use the Get Next Source File command to select each succeeding file.
    Thanks and Regards,

  • How to preform the auto extraction of the Excel file in Import Manager

    Hi Experts,
    I was performing an automatic import using the Import Manager.
    In the port, i defined the map name, file type and the automatic execution. But the import manager could not perform the mapping correctly after i putted the Excel file into the ready folder. And the error message in the exception log was "MS Excel is not supported on x64 platform." But when I imported the file in import manager manually, nothing wrong was happend duing this processing.
    How could I perform a correctly mapping in the Import Manager.

    Hi Wendrin,
    This is a limitation . The MDIS on 64-bit Windows cannot import from Excel . However manual imports are supported (as this doesnt need MDIS).
    XML is the best suited format for automating imports in MDM. Suggest you switch over to xml and setup auto import.

    hi,
    as part of my requirement , i have to perform read and  write  operations of  few files [ using the file upload control in my custom visual web part] and on submit button click.
    but while writing these files - with the help of  fileupload control - and when i use  myfileupload.saveas(mylocation);
    - i am saving these files into my D:\ drive of my server , where i am executing my code -, am getting access denied error.
    it throws system.unauthorizedexception.
    i have given full control on that folder where i was trying to store my attached files. and also  after following asp.net forums,
    i have added  iusr group added and performed all those steps such that, the file is saved in my D:\ drive.
    but unfortunately  that didnt happen.
    also
    a) i am trying the code with runwithelevatedprivileges(delegate() )  code
    b) shared the drive within the  d :drive where i want o save the files.
    c) given the full privieleges for the app pool identity- in my case , its
    network service.
    the  other strange thing is that, the same code works perfectly in  other machine, where the same sp, vs 2012  etc were installed .
    would like to know, any other changes/ steps i need to make it on this  server, where i am getting the  error.

    Hi Friends,
    I have gone through scores of examples and i am failing to understand the right thing to be done to copy a file from one directory to another. Here is my class...So let's see... C:\GetMe1 is a directory on your machine, right? And this is what you are doing with that directory:
    public static void copyFiles(File src, File dest) throws IOException
    // dest is a 'File' object but represents the C:\GetMe1 directory, right?
    fout = new FileOutputStream (dest);If it's a directory, where in your code are you appending the source file name to the path, before trying to open an output stream on it? You're not.
    BTW, this is awful:
    catch (IOException e)
    IOException wrapper = new IOException("copyFiles: Unable to copy file: " +
    src.getAbsolutePath() + "to" + dest.getAbsolutePath()+".");
    wrapper.initCause(e);
    wrapper.setStackTrace(e.getStackTrace());
    throw wrapper;
    }1) You're hiding the original IOException and replacing it with your own? For what good purpose?
    2) Even if you had a good reason to do that, this would be simpler and better:
    throw new IOException("your custom message goes here", e);
    rather than explicitly invokign initCause and setStackTrace. Yuck!

  • Bridge CS6 crashes when accessing a folder containing a GIF file

    Each time I try to access a folder in Bridge CS6 containing a GIF file, Bridge crashes.
    Moving the file out of the folder (with Finder) stops the crash happening. I've tried with several different GIF files, diffrent ages, with and without animation. ANY GIF file causes the crash in ANY folder. Very frustrating as I can't use Bridge to use any folder with a GIF inside.
    I'm using Bridge CS6 5.0.1.21 (Creative Cloud) on a Mac with OSX 10.8.2.
    Saw another post suggesting using 32bit version instead of 64bit, but that's a Windows thing.
    Anyone have any ideas?
    Many thanks.

    Here's something else: I made a copy of a GIF file and changed its file extension to .jpg and then tried to view it's enclosing folder. No crash! I then made a copy of a jpeg and changed it's extension to GIF. No crash!
    That is a weird route to go...
    However tried it and had no problem other then not getting a preview for the jpeg and after again change to .gif the need of purging caching for the thumb.
    If you want a workaround, try 'A Better Finder Rename', a cheap application that let's you change whatever you want for files or folders name, replacing etc.
    You could set up a droplet for changing the extension to .jpg, drop the folder with all files on it and then again create a droplet to get the .gif back and drop it again. the set up takes 5 minutes, the result is taking only a few seconds.
    You can change the extension in Bridge with Batch Rename but obviously that would not help you because you first have to select the files...

  • Can no longer open a folder while dragging a file into it...

    Suddenly I am unable to drag a file into a folder, hold it over that folder and have the folder open so I can then navigate within that folder before dropping the file (does that make sense?)...it has been working just fine for some time and now it won't work. Only thing I've done recently is repair disk permissions (which CheckUp seemed to find a lot in need of repair, oddly enough).
    Any help is much appreciated, I use this feature frequently.

    HI,
    I'm not sure what CheckUp is. Only use your Disk Utility application (Applications/Utilities) to repair disk permissions on a Mac.
    *"Suddenly I am unable to drag a file into a folder"*
    Time to check the hard disk. Grab your install disk.
    Insert Installer disk and Restart, holding down the "C" key until grey Apple appears.
    Go to Installer menu (Panther and earlier) or Utilities menu (Tiger and later) and launch Disk Utility.
    Select your HDD (manufacturer ID) in the left panel.
    Select First Aid in the Main panel.
    (Check S.M.A.R.T Status of HDD at the bottom of right panel. It should say: Verified)
    Click Repair Disk on the bottom right.
    If DU reports disk does not need repairs quit DU and restart.
    If DU reports errors Repair again and again until DU reports disk is repaired.
    Check your available disk space also.
    Right or control click the MacintoshHD icon on your Desktop, then click: Get Info. In the Get Info window, click the discovery triangle so it's facing down. You will see; Capacity and Available Make sure you have 10% available disk space, 15% is better. Not enough available drive space can cause issues like you are experiencing.

  • FDM import script with selectable source file

    Hi All,
    I would like to build an import script attached to an import format that imports a text file with multiple value columns.
    Source file:
    Entity, Detail, Account 1, Account 2
    E_abc, D_abc, 100, 200
    In FDM this needs to be:
    Entity, Detail, Account, Amount
    E_abc, D_abc, Account 1, 100
    E_abc, D_abc, Account 2, 200
    So i need to loop through the file.
    My biggest challenge is that when i attach a script to an import format in the import process i cannot select a file from inbox anymore, it has to be a pre-defined file.
    Has someone an example or solution how to make a script-import format and enable the select file from inbox?
    And if possible has someone an example script of the issue stated above?
    Thanks in advance,
    Marc

    Hi Wayne..
    Thanks for your reply (and sorry for the delay in mine).
    Could you tell me what script to use to open the file in the befImport script, or how to rename the file in memory to a new one?
    So i write a script that rewrites the file to a new file in the inbox but i need to tell FDM that it needs to process this new file.
    Thanks,
    Marc

  • Creating multiple records from 1 record in the source file for Import DM

    Hi Experts,
    Today I am working on an interface/import where I want to get the following result:
    Source file contains a records like:
    Account, Entity, DriverX
    Sales,EntityA,ZZ
    The BPC appset contains the 2 dimensions Account and Entity next to CostCenter dimension. The DriverX field in the source file is just additional information in the source file. However based on this DriverX we need to determine what CostCenter to choose but we also need to have the same record assigned to a second record in BPC.
    Following my example, based on DriverX value I need to create 2 records:
    Account, Entity, CostCenter,
    Sales,EntityA,CC1
    Sales,EntityA,CC2
    I don't have a problem assigning the record to 1 CostCenter based on DriverX value but I have a problem creating my second record. Does any of you have had the same "challenge" and if so would you like to share the solution for this?
    Best regards,
    Johan
    PS: I am working on SAP BPC, version 7.0 Microsoft version.

    Hi Greg,
    Many thanks for your answer. And yes this would be a solution. However I just simplified my case as the decision to create an second record and where to post is depending on more than 1 field in the source.
    But I will keep it in mind, because I also can opt for a solution to store data differently in BPC fac-tabels which will help me to use script logic.
    If it is not possible to create multiple records from a single records in the standard functionality in the Transformation and/or Conversion file, I have to create a custom DTSX or change my way of storing data.
    Anyone else who is having an alternative idea like Greg came up with?
    Please let it know!
    Best regards,
    Johan
