Adding Record in a MDM table using Java APIs

While inserting records in a table, we have to make sure that if there is any field of type lookup, particular value entered is either present in the lookuptable or we insert in the lookup table.
two questions/clarifications
1. if there are more than one lookup tables, we have to do the same thing for all the tables????
2. to insert in the lookup tables, i have to find the record ID of the particular entry in the lookup table and then use the recordid to enter value in the main table. Is it correct??
Thanks and Regards

Hi Nitin,
You will need to have the value present in the lookup table and then take the record id of that entry from the lookup table to make an entry in the main table record (for all the fields in the main table which are of type lookup).
Sample code: This code is from MDM 5.5 sp4.
A2iFields Fields = new A2iFields();
Fields = addField(<recordid from the lookup table>, <Field code in main table>, Fields);
int RID = catalog.AddRecord(<repository>,Fields, 0, 0);
Hope it helps.
Thanks,
Avinash.

Iterate through all the records in a table using Java API

Hi All,
What is the easiest way to iterate through all the records in a given table using Java API? I cannot find any methods that will return all records in a table and the only way I can use is to perform a free form search with a condition that is always true. The code works but is pretty ugly. Is there an alternative to this approach?
Thanks!
Kenny

Hi Kenny,
You can construct a new Search object with your table's code name, a new ResultSetDefinition object for your table and just execute this search using the GetResultSet method of CatalogData.
Please look at the following code:
Search search = new Search(<code name of your table>);
ResultSetDefinition rsd = new ResultSetDefinition(<code name of your table>);
rsd.AddField<code name of a field>);
rsd.AddField(<code name of a field>);
String sortField = <code name of your sort field>;
boolean sortAscending = true;
int page = 0; //page number
A2iResultSet rs = <your CatalogData object>.GetResultSet(search, rsd, sortField, sortAscending, page);
for (int i = 0; i < rs.GetRecordCount(); i++)
Value fieldValue = rs.GetValueAt(i, <code name of a field>);
Hope this helps,
Nir
PS - I really recommend you to start using the new API, as it is much more efficient and straight-forward.

Uploading images whit thumbnail to MDM repository using Java API

Hello,
can someone tell me how to upload images whit thumbnail to MDM repository using Java API?
i get following message using setHasThumbnail(true):
com.sap.mdm.commands.CommandException: com.sap.mdm.internal.protocol.manual.ServerException: Ungültiger Wert für Parameter

You can upload images to MDM via the API, but the only way to create thumbnails is via the MDM Data Manager application which uses some embedded libraries to do the work.

Get Field Values from Table using Java api

I am using the example java code "RetrieveLimitedRecords" that can be found at :
https://help.sap.com/javadocs/MDM71/current/API/index.html
The code give the expected result and retrieves the record count for the main table
Now I want to get the values of the fields for one record
I added the lines:
Record[] records = recordResultSet.getRecords() ;
FieldId[] fields = records[0].getFields();
System.out.println ("Field Length = "+fields.length);
and the output is::
Field Length = 0
How can I get the fields of the record and read their values?
Thanks
Nicolas

Assuming you want every field, the equivalent of "SELECT *" in SQL, you can use the RepositorySchema object to get a TableSchema, and with that get all FieldIds for the table.
If your RepositorySchema variable is rs it would be something along the lines of:
TableSchema mainTableSchema = rs.getTableSchema(mainTableId);
ResultDefinition rd = new ResultDefinition(mainTableId);
rd.setSelectFields(mainTableSchema.getFieldIds());
Hope this helps,

Need help in getting MDM relationship details using Java Apis

Hi,
Is it possible to search records which are in relationship using Java Apis? Suppose Record A is Parent record and Record B,C,D ... are child records.
I have to search all the records which are in relationship with record A.
Can any one send code snippet on this.
Regards,
Niraj

Hi Niraj,
You can use RetrieveRelationshipsCommand api to get the relationship child of the Anchor Record.
RetrieveRelationshipsCommand command = new RetrieveRelationshipsCommand(connectionAccesor);
command.setSession(session);
command.setAnchorRecord(anchorRecord); / command.setAnchorRecordId(anchorRecordId); (use any of the two statements)
command.setRelationship(relationshipId); //For child int type is 10, and for Parent_child int type is 5
command.setMemberResultDefinition(resultDefinition);
command.execute();
//Get Member Records' resuld definition
ResuldDefinition rd = command.getMemberResultDefinition();
Hope this helps you.

You must not have the complete IFS_BASE_CLASSPATH defined in your CLASSPATH environment variable. The easiest way to do this is to type ". ifsenv.sh" on Solaris (or run ifsenv.bat on NT). Then you can invoke java like this:
java -classpath $CLASSPATH:$IFS_BASE_CLASSPATH ...
(your standard JDK classes should already be in the CLASSPATH; append our classpath to it)

Modifying record in MDM using JAVA API

hello all
I have created record in MDM using JAVA API now I want to update record using API. I used ModifyRecordCommand. But this requires input as Record but I have RecordID of the record to be modified. How do I get Record value from RecordID.

Hi,
                  You can use RetrieveRecordsByIdCommand to get the record by Record Id.
            RetrieveRecordsByIdCommand recordbyidcom = new RetrieveRecordsByIdCommand(con);
            recordbyidcom.setSession(session);
            recordbyidcom.addId(recordid);
            recordbyidcom.setResultDefinition(resultdefinition);
            recordbyidcom.execute();
            RecordResultSet rs = recordbyidcom.getRecords();
            Record record = rs.getRecord(0);
            //Modify the record
            record.setFieldValue(fieldid,value);
            ModifyRecordCommand modify = new ModifyRecordCommand(con);
            modify.setSession(session);
            modify.setRecord(record);
            modify.execute();

How to upload Image to MDM 5.5 SP3 using Java APIs

Hi,
I am trying to upload Image to Images table in MDM 5.5 using JAVA API for MDM. But. I'm not able to find particular field in Images table where I need to set the Blob object ( Image data ).
I'm not aware of the method to set the Blob, there is one for getting the Image data.
I have gone through I am not able to add images into Catalog thru java API forums posts and tried the code. But with no luck....
I think this code is for some other MDM version as the fields mentioned are not present in the Images table e.g. DataObject - this field is used in the above posts to set the Blob data but this field does not exist in Images table in MDM 5.5
Can anyone suggest the solution?
Thanks and Regards,
Mausam

Hi Mausam,
Please try the following:
// adding to a image table
// get the bytes for the image
byte[] imageBuf = readFile("C:\pic.bmp");
// setup A2iFields
fields = new A2iFields();
fields.Add(new A2iField("DataObject", new
Value(imageBuf))); // the image binary (required)
fields.Add(new A2iField("Name", new Value("pic.bmp")));
// a name for the image
fields.Add(new A2iField("OrigName", new
Value("pic.bmp"))); // the original image file name
(required)
fields.Add(new A2iField("DataGroupId", new Value(888)));
// the data group to add to (required)
fields.Add(new A2iField("OrigLocationId", new
Value(999))); // the data location of the image
(required)
fields.Add(new A2iField("Description", new Value("a
short description"))); // a short description here
// add the image
String imageTable = "Images";
catalog.AddRecord(imageTable, fields, -1, -1);
It's taken out of the API guide for SP3 (the example for method AddRecord.
Best regards,
Amit

2.I have look up tables like Account Group.
3.Also Qualifier table(Phone numbers) too.
Could you please give me the sample code which helps me to create Vendor records using Java API?
I need Code samples which should cover all of the above scenario.

Best option to push Mass data using Java API

Hi All,
Can any one let me know how Java API push data to MDM? Is it a good option when ti comes to perfromance point of view? We have around 2000/5000 records to be imported every time using Java API and wondering what would be best way to acheive this using Java API?
Is java API is best option than Web services?
Thanks
Rajeev

Rajeev,
It is perfectly fine to use API to push data into MDM, you just need to make sure that your API does all those tasks which import manager does by default. For example, it should know when to insert and when to update. if an error happens during insertion of record, you should be able to notify the users.
Having said that, where does the number 2000/5000 comes in? will you be creating users in batch and then invoke MDM API to store these in a single shot or willl it be a delta insert/update from Java to MDM?
Thanks
Aamir
