Combining two source fields in Import Manager

Hi,
I am trying to combine two source fields say fld1 with 5 digit and Fld2 with 3 digit so that combined fld3 of 8 digit can be mapped to a 8 digit field in destination MDM side.
Any suggestion how to do this is highly appreciated
Thanks,
-reo

Hi Reo,
I am just adding details to how to combine fields in the import manager.
To combine two or more existing partitions for a destination node steps are as follows:
<b>1. </b>In the appropriate source hierarchy tree, select the node whose partitions you want to combine.
<b>2.</b> click on the Partition Field/Value tab to make it the active tab.
<b>3.</b> In the appropriate Partition list, select the two or more partition items you want to combine into a single partition.
<b>4.</b> Click on the Combine button, or right-click on one of the items and choose Combine Partitions from the context menu.
<b>5.</b> MDM combines the selected partition items.
<b>6.</b> Now you can map this partition directly to the destination field.
But as ur requirement seems ,u do not need to set delimiter.
Hope it will help you and let me know the results. please remark .
Thanks,

Combine fields in Import manager

Dear all,
I want to import two related fields to one field in the destinatation. This is linked to a look up table with a combined key.
Now I can combine the two input fields and map it to the destination field (two display fileds).
However the field mapping can not be done by automap, only manual mapping.
Does anyone know how to get an automap?
thanks in advance

However the field mapping can not be done by automap, only manual mapping.
In the lookup table suppose we have field1 and field2 as the display fields then for the table define field1+field2 as the unique key in console. Next for the lookup table also enable remote key in console.
Now while importing clone the field1 and field2 and partition field1 using field2 with a delimiter as ;
Next map the combined field as you have already done and also map the partitioned field to the remote key(field1+field2)
Automap will work now..

Set Key Field in Import Manager

Hi All,
I have 2 fields in my source file(name,category) .category(look up Field) is the key field and name(display Field) is the matching field.
I got file like this......
Name                  category
1                           A
1                           B
1                           C
While importing i got an error stating that Import failed. The destination record was referred to by multiple source records. Duplicate source records should be merged before importing them.
Import action: Update (All Mapped Fields)Source record no: 1
But in this case my key field is Category based on category then these 3 records will be 3 different records.
Please let me know the use of Set Key field in the Import Manager and how it works?

Hi,
It's not about set of key field in MDM Import Manager but the reason is that you can not select more than 1 category(Lookup Taxonomy) in maintable for one record. thats why error is coming because for this Property Multi-valued always No.
Even, you can try this in Data Manager manually create three Category A, B and C in taxonomy mode on selecting Sub table Categories, then on selecting main table, when you select category field(which is lookup to categories table)for a particular record you could able to select only one category A, B or C.
i would suggest make a Attribute of type text having three values A, B and C and mark this as Multi-Valued in Attribute Detail and link this Attribute with your category. in this way you can attach three values A, B and C with your Record.
Other thing you can do,make this category field as (Lookup Hierarchy not lookup taxonomy) in main table to Subtable(Hierarchy) then for this field in main table you can set Property Multi-valued = Yes in MDM console and then after Import using MDM Import Manager finally only one record will get created in Data Manager as:
Name Category
1         A;B;C
Hope it will Help you,
Rewards if Useful.....

Import Manager - Problem with 0..n field in Import Manager

Iu2019m having problems with XMLs that contain multiple or single tags in MDIS process. For example: I did the map using a XML with multiple tags for Address:
<address>
<item>
u2026
</item>
<item>
u2026
</item>
</address>
When I send two address or more Address, the Import Server work fine, but when I send only one Address, the address is not imported.
<address>
<item>
</item>
<item>
</item>
</address>
Opening the xml file with only one Address in Import Manager, I saw that the fields isnu2019t mapped, but when I open a xml file with multiple Address itu2019s open correctly.
The XSD cardinality for the Address\Item is 0..n

Hi Evandro ,
If it is processing the input file correctly through the Manul Import manager process then update your latest Map by using SAVE As option or else save this correct map with a new name altogether and use this new map in the port for automatic importing.
If your file is able to process correctly through the Import manager without showing any errors till the Import step in the Import manager then this map must be correct and shoul automate the importing correctly.
Provided you are using the similar file for automatic importing as well.The file name and the fields as well as the value mapping as saved in this corrected map must not differ with the input file else this saved map will not be able to import correctly.
Check to see if you have made correct setting for automatic importing by refering the below link:
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_mdm550/helpdata/en/43/12036df94c3e92e10000000a1553f6/frameset.htm (Automatic importing MDIS - Import manager ref guide>MDM import server(MDIS)>MDIS Consfiguration)

Also check the exception folders if your import is not taking place automatically:

SRM-MDM - loading hyperlink field in import manager

Hi forum members,
I am having trouble loading the hyperlinks in for SRM-MDM in import manager.
What fields / values do I need to map to load this please?
I have mapped the hyperlink source field to the hyperlink destination field, but get an error during import executing saying there is an creating lookup table entry.
Is anyone able to provide step-by-step details of which mappings are needed?
Thanks very much,
Nick

Hi Nicholas,
the non-qualifier for the hyperlinks table is the type. Therefore you need to also map this field. Please check note 1077701 (under 11.) on how to use the types.
Let us know whether that helped.

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
Reo

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

Source system in Import manager

Hi Folks,
We have configured XI for R/3-MDM. When we are importing XML file from the XI folder in to the import manager we are getting all techanicals name in the source system
Like IDOC_ATTR_BEGIN,IDOC_E1LFA1M_ADNR..
But we need in normal name such as vendor number address etc.
Could you guys please help me where ,I have missed configuration in XI or in MDM to get the desired name in source system.
Thansk in advance
Rohit

HI,
But as i understand this all name reflect from the XSD files which we use in the XML format. If we change name there then it will be reflected in the name which we have changed.
If you have any XSD for vendor CREMAS then please share with me
[email protected]
As you ahve mentioned changing the name will be huge task do you ahve any other workaround .Because client requirnment is name should not reflect in the techanical name LFA1 but in normale name vendor.
Thanks,
Rohit

Map Auto ID field in import manager

Hello all
I need to make a quick fix to the data in our repository. A field needs to be updated based on a small formula. To do so I have syndicated the information and imported it to and SQL database where calculated the result. I exported it to a text file.
Now I need to create a map to update the field. However the only common ID is the auto ID field I have set up. I can't map the source to the destination - the map button is grayed out when I select the auto ID field.
Is it not possible to map it or is it because the auto ID field is numeric and my import is text.
BR
/Alexander

Hi Alexander,
It is true that the Auto Id field cannot be imported or syndicated.But as you said you have used only the auto id field as the Primary matching fiel dand you need the Auto id information only so as to import then a workaround i would suggest
- Create a new field in your repository in console say(Auto id1)
- Make this field as calculated field
- In the calculation expression just selct the auto id field from the dropdown
- This will populate the autoid field1 with the values same as the auto id field
- And then try mapping it to this newly craeted field while importing.
- This is just a workaround i am not sure whether it will address your problem directly
Hope It Helped,
Thanks & Regards

Two source fields in one target idoc structure

Hi Experts!
I have a problem.
I have a flat file with two fields desc1 and desc2. They have to be put into the field MAKTX of the table structure E1MAKTM. But not via concat or useOneAsMandy!
I need a new E1MAKTM structure for each desc1 and desc2 . So that i get following target structure:
<recordset>
-E1MAKTM
- MAKTX = "content of desc1"
-E1MAKTM
- MAKTX = "content of desc2"
</recordset>
I hope you understand what I am trying to do.
How can i solve this problem?
Thanks for your answers in advance.

Hi,
>>Is there a possibility to dynamically duplicate the structures?
>>So that i get automatically a duplicated target structure for each content filled source field?
The solution that has give above would only do this.
Even though you are duplicating the segement in the design time, you are mapping the desc1 and desc2 to the E1MAKTM root node(for MAKTX).
During the runtime the node E1MAKTM will only be generated based on the number of occurance of the desc1 and desc2 in the source message.
For example if there are 2 desc1 and 1 desc2 field then 3 E1MAKTM node will be generated.
But make sure that the occurance of E1MAKTM is 0 to unbounded to achieve this.
Thanks

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 to combine two text fields from two lines to extend text.

I am working on a form to enter property descriptions sometimes it takes one and a half lines of text. Is there a way to force the first line of text to continue onto the next text field on the next line with out having to tab? I was wondering if there was something like a text overflow to the next field. An example is I might have two words in the middle of the second line and a field on both sides. I just want the top to connect to the first next line field. pcwp55

This must be the day after Christmas or something Crazy people like me are still working. Okay -- I figured it out. Add a table with a single row and two columns, then insert a text field in each one, making it side-by-side. The trick is to make sure it is within the subform, and you must select the row and make sure to check "Allow Page Breaks within Content" on that row, because it isn't a default. It works. Thanks (to myself!).

How to Split field into multiple fields in Import Manager without delem

Is there any method to Split a record in MDM without using delimitter?
I dont want to use any delemitter My field content in Source is PRODLABELPACK and I want to split it into 3 fields in destination Field1= PROD
Field2=LABEL Field3=PACK
I know how to split it if the content is PROD_LABEL_PACK .But we dont want to use delimiter in the firld and want to use some substring function

You Can use below FM SWA_STRING_SPLIT -
First Use READ_TEXT FM.
then loop into
loop at tline.
Here use 'SWA_STRING_SPLIT' -> Pass tdline and append the text into other internal table.
endloop

Mapping challenge !! Generate target for unique combination of source field

Hi,
I/P:
<Segement1>
<Article>1</Article>
</Segement1>
<Segement1>
<Article>2</Article>
</Segement1>
<Segement2>
<StoreNum>12</StoreNum>
<StoreNum>13</StoreNum>
<StoreNum>14</StoreNum>
</Segement2>
and the output should be like for every unique combination of Article and StoreNum I have to create a target node and the corresponding values in that node: (So in this case the o/p node will come 6 times)
<Detail>
<Article>1</Article>
<StoreNum>12</StoreNum>
</Detail>
<Detail>
<Article>1</Article>
<StoreNum>13</StoreNum>
</Detail>
<Detail>
<Article>2</Article>
<StoreNum>14</StoreNum>
</Detail>
Can anybody please suggest a solution ?

articleremovecontext-sortsplibyvalue(valuechange)-collapsecontext
UDF---details
storenumsort-splitbyvalue(valuechange)--collapsecontext
mapping of the elements inside details node can be achieved using UDF or standard function also.
UDF2
for(int i=0;i<var1.length;i++)
for(int j=0;j<var2.length;j++)
result.addValue(var1<i>);
result.addContextchange();
repeat the same mapping for Article(target filed) using udf2 as mentioned above for details...
UDF3:
for(int i=0;i<var1.length;i++)
for(int j=0;j<var2.length;j++)
result.addValue(var2<i>);
result.addContextchange();
repeat the same mapping for Storenum(target filed) using udf3 as mentioned above for details...
