Automatic remote key updation in data manager after a data import.

Hi experts,
I'm using SAP MDM 7.1 SP10 and after I do a data load via import manager my remote keys of lookup tables are updated. For example, lets just say I do a vendor mass load for some operating company for which I didn't maintain remote key for lookup table "Country" (figure Before load) and after the load its autometically updated in data mager (figure After load).
Before load.
After load.
I want to understand if its noramal SAP behaviour or not. If yes, how can i avoid this.
Thanks and regards

Hello Ravi, I just want to leverage Shamit question :
I noticed the same behavior after the key mapping enable and the problem is : every time I import a file via Import manager now, when I check my mapping, sometimes a supplier that does not exist in my file is mapped with a different one from MDM. Previously the key mapping property was enabled, if this situation occurs in my import, as the supplier is a key in my map, this field would not be mapped and I had to correct my file or include this supplier in the database. Now, this became dangerous, as my import can map wrong information. Do i have another option to syndicate only changed records, without enable the key mapping ??? Example : use the selection Criteria in syndicator.

Agent disappeared automatically and it appeared in pending management after 6 months.

We had a server (Windows server 2003 64 bit) which was installed and was working fine. Suddenly it disappeared automatically and it appeared in pending management after 6 months. We noticed it only when it came to pending management that the server disappeared
from Agents managed TAB. When we checked the server and found that SCOM was uninstalled or disappeared or what ever. We re installed SCOM now and now from past 1 week we see that the agent is fine.
We are using SCOM 2007R2 CU4 in our environment.
I want to know the reason for this. Post installation of SCOM after this incident we checked the event logs and found the data for the last working of SCOM in that server and found the below events. I was not able to get that much old data in the SCOM Management
server. But got the data from the Agent.

Hi,
Based on my understanding, that you re-installed your SCOM, and now everything works fine. You want to know that why your SCOM run into problem 6 months before, right?
According to the event logs in your agent, we could not tell what happened to your Operation manager. What I can see is that the management group was removed from the agent then. And there are some errors when moniored by the former management group.
I would like to suggest you check out what actions have you do on your former management group 6 months before. Maybe we can check the operation manager logs on your management server.

Hello,
We get the above exception when we analyzed the extractor framework logs for EP Workload analysis extractor.
Can someone please advice.
Thanks

Hi Nacho,
Could you please check if the Solution Manager time format for the user used for the Workload analysis is same as that of the monitored system. This error was caused in our landscape as the format in the monitored system was having a dd.mm.yyyy and that of the user in solman was mm.dd.yyyy. You can check the same in the transaction SU01 --> Change/Display --> Defaults tab --> Date format.

Number Generation & Remote Key Updation

Hi Experts,
We have a scenario of integrating MDM with SAP and 3 Non SAP systems
All the systems have the same number range for the account types
Whenever there is a request , a copy should always go to SAP plus the requested system
Doubt:
The request comes to the import server and the requirement is to automate it
Now the question is how to generate the number in main table and it should update the key mapping of 2 remote systems automatically
Kindly help
Regards,
Antony

Hi Antony,
As you have 4 remote systems, one SAP and 3 non-sap systems, you need to create 4 remote systems in MDM Console ( as shown in page 3/10, 1.2 Create/modify the remote system u201CSAP R/3u201D and specify type as u201Cinbound/Outboundu201D and key generation as u201CQualified Rangeu201D in below article).
While syndicating you have to select remote system one by one as it is shown here for SAP R/3 (on page 5/10, 2.5 Specify the type as u201CFlatu201D and remote system same as created in step 1.2 : u201CSAP R/3u201D ), you need to do it for all the 4 remote systems one by one. you need to be carefully map remote key for all of these remote systems as shown in section, 4.2 The u201CSAP Material Numberu201D field, which is to be generated during syndication, is to be mapped to the remote key field u201CValueu201D.
For complete understanding, Please refer the below Article.

Maintaining Remote key in look up tables for Production data

Hi,
me
SEE in DEV and QA to maintain the Remote key for Look up tables.First i have exported those look up table values and again imported with mapping Remote keys (clone the field and map it to Remote key.). By this i have maintained the Remote keys to all look up tables. Now for Production what should i do. Is it the same process extract all records from production into our desktop and then again import it using IM, clone the field and map it to Remote key.
1. Is this the right process?
2. What happens if there are huge data present in production how to proceed furthr then?
Required your suggestion please.
Thanks,
Pradeep

HI Pradeep,
I dont see any problem with this method if I am getting it right
You are updating remote keys by reimporting lookup data, and this way you have multiple remote keys for data in lookup table,right?
This will help you to automap entries in Import process for different Remote systems.
I did not get your 2nd point?
Thanks,
Ravi

Getting contacts updated in sync logs after pushing data for activity object

Auto update of PO price after del. date change

We use price date category=2 , "Delivery date" for our materials. In ME22N, the delivery date is changed. Message 06 484 appears at the bottom of the screen,
"Delivery date changed (new price determination process may be necessary)".
We want to have the new price determination automatically carried out when the delivery date changes in the PO. If you change other fields like purchasing org. or plant, the price is automatically redetermined.

It depends on the costing method of the org and the distribution details of the PO.
Typically, for avg. costing, it is not possible because that will alter the way the transaction was costed.
But for a std. costing org, it may be possible.
You will have to setup the test cases for your org and see.

Data Roaming applies when roaming internationally/out of the country on an AT&T partner network.
Roaming internationally must be requested by you and approved by AT&T before doing so. This is beneficial to those who want to minimize their data roaming charges when out of the country since this is billed in full for all data downloaded and uploaded when checking and downloading email and web browsing, etc. There are no such charges when connected via Wi-Fi when roaming internationally - only when using the cellular network for data access.
Also for those who are in the country but live near the border of Mexico or Canada where cellular towers located across the border can be picked up without your knowledge.
It is off by default and you should leave it off unless you travel outside the country and need internet access other than via Wi-Fi.
Scratch the AT&T and U.S. reference - I now see you are located in Scotland but the same applies when what is considered roaming internationally on an O2 partner network.

Time and/or Date incorrect after moving/copying/importing

This has been going on for years and has messed up hundreds, maybe more, of the time/date on my photos in Aperture.
If I select my entire photo library (typically preset to 'Date - Ascending') in Aperture, I can find hundreds of photos out of order. When I look at them in 'Info', the time and sometimes date has changed by several hours. I'm not sure if this is an Aperture thing or Mac thing? Over the years I have moved and/or copied photos from smaller HDDs to larger HDDs to eventually a NAS unit and/or from iPhoto to Aperture.
I have made calls to Tech Support, but they have always made me feel as if I made some mistake on my end or I didn't set the time correctly to begin with (now this could be correct with the P&S I share with my girlfriend, but very rarely with my DSLR). But I also explained that it was random (3 to 5 photos in a set).
So today as I was trying to update some of my photos, I came across some photos (and videos) I took last year with my iPhone (my iPhone always has the correct time and date or 99.9%). I originally uploaded these to an old iPhoto library I still have (all the dates and times are correct). These same photos and videos (55 over a 3 day period) were moved to my Aperture library some time ago and 3 of the 55 have the incorrect time by -7 hours (ie. 3:30 pm is now 8:30 am).
Why does this happen?? I have not set any time changes to these photos. If I did, they would all have the wrong time and not just 3 of them would be off.
Is anyone having this issue and if so, was there a way to get the corrcet time/date from the photo hidden deep down in the EXIF? This is driving me crazy.
Here are some screen shots of the same photo in iPhoto and Aperture.
iPhoto 5:28:09 PM - Correct
Aperture 10:28:09 AM - Incorrect -7 hrs
TIA if anyone can help. I just don't have the time to go back and try and change all these photos.

Thanks for the reply, I will try to post the screenshots again (they still show for me, odd?).
Anyway, this is not a zoning problem. This is a moving or copying problem.
The photos I tried to show from the screen shot I took last year at a concert in Coachella (same time zone as my residence in Redondo Beach). The shots were taken using my iPhone which has GPS and constant updating of Time. All the photos and videos show up correctly in Places (GPS) and all the correct times show in iPhoto.
The issue occurs when the photos are moved to Aperture. Randomly the time has changed to -7 hours on a few photos. This same randomness has occured to hundreds of my photos that I have imported into Aperture over the years. As I said before, Tech Support and everyone else has placed the blame on me within my camera settings or improper importing.
Now that I use my iPhone more often, I have proof that the settings are correct and that Aperture or Finder or ?? within Apple has changed the Time randomly. Also, if I had 'Accidently' opened the 'Time Zone' brick when importing (as suggested by Tech Support), all the photos would have the incorrect time and not just a few random ones.
iPhoto original from iPhone - Time 5:28:09 correct
Aperture photo from iPhoto - Time 10:28:09 incorrect -7 Hrs
Thanks again,
Narvon

MDM Data Manager Assignments using Dates

Hello.
I am trying to create some assignments that default to a certain date and my expressions are getting the error message when I execute them.
I am currently trying to create an Assignment for the Look-up table: Valid To (which belongs to the QT: Sales Data).
I want the Valid To Assignment to default at the date 12/31/2999 if the user did not already enter a value.
My expression looks like this:
IF (IS_NULL(Sales Data.Valid To), SYSTIME(0) = 12/31/2999)
I linked Sales Data for my 'Table Field'
Any Ideas?
Points awarded promptly for any help!
Thanks,
Nichole

Hi,
As per my knowledge, writing Assignments on Qualified Table field within the Main table is not possible for both Qualifier as well as Non-Qualifier Field. As if you want to write Assignment on Non-Qualifier fields only then you can do while selecting Qualified table as your Current Table not as Main table.
For Qualifier field too if you want to asign field using Main table is not Possible as you cant select Property Table Field as Valid to here you could only able to select all Main table fields and fields which is look up to this Qualified table and other Sub tables.
Don't confuse with other subtables.
Other assignments that i've made work with just the 'sales data' table field even though there is a lookup table within that Q.T.
That's why as you could get values for all other subtables in Assignment Expression as lookups tab if you remember like Reconcillation but here you could not find field who look up to your Qualified Table as well as Qualified table. there indirectly u r refering field to this lookup table and you get values here to assign but how could you assign value to Valid to field just think even if this is must requirement for you then you create one more subtable and look up this valid to field to this subtable or just create one more field Valid to in maintable of type text.
So from my point of view this is only drawback that we could not Assign Value to Qualified table field. I hope it will help you in understanding. But writing Validations for Qualified Table fields is Possible but not Assignments. May be in MDM 7.1 its possible. This is my knowledge about Writing Expressions for Qualified Table Fields till now.
Hope it will Help you,

Sort all the Records in Data manager based on Update Date

How to sort the reocrds in Data Manager based on Date or something ?
And also I have three records for a same customer in ( for three different company codes ) and when I search for this customer with the Customer number then it is showing three records , but when I search with Update Date then no records are fetched ...what is the reason ?

If you make a field as type "Time Stamp" in your data model using the MDM Console, make sure that the option Sort Index is set to Normal. If this is the case, whenever a record is updated in the repository, the date will be updated. If the sort index is normal, then MDM will allow you to sort the records based on the date and time by which they were updated. You can do this by finding your time stamp field in the MDM data manager and clicking on it. If there is an up and down arrow next to the name of your field, it means it can be sorted. Also, to answer your other question, you can definitely search based on date. Use the Free-Form Search on the left hand side of the data manager at the bottom of the screen. Simply select a date, and it will show you all the records updated on that date.

Import Manager Remote Key issue

Dear All,
I have imported all the records from R3 system in Material repository. Since the full MATMAS xmls were of bigger size I devided it into 5 ports MARA, MARC, MARM, MVKE, MBEW.
Now while importing MARA, remote key was not mapped by mistake.
But we want local Material numbers (i.e. material numbers from R3).
so now do i need to reimport everything again or is there any workaround to it.
-Poonam

Hi Poonam,
In lines with what nitin has said
I feel is the right way to go about with the scenario when you have to deal with remote sytems and remote keys.
To explain:
When ever you are importing data from an external system you need to maintain a remote key which will identify that these set of records are coming from a differnt remote system.
For this we use Remote sytem mapping.
The unique key of the incoming source file is to be mapped with the remote key in the destination side in Import manger.
This remote key will then act as your primary key and can be used in the matching field tab.
The unique key then can be cloned to map it with its correcponding field in the MDM rep.
Eg Material no -> Remote key
Material no(cloned) -> Material no
Then when you syndicate these field you need to do proper mapping in the syndicator for the remote sytem and then on your local id will be store in the value field and global id in the remote key field
Hope it helped
Kindly reward points if found useful
Thanks
