Data Manager: Transformations( Matching Mode)

Hi All,
In Matching mode of data manager, I set some transformation. In preview field of transformation tab, data is changing as per in substitution.
But after merging it is not reflecting into the data( what I set in substitution, is not reflecting into the data).
What I have to do for this? Any other settings?
Please help....
Regards,
Nikhil

Hi Nikhil ,
You could use assignments in this case and build it accordingly :
in the DM ->assignments tab -> add an  assignment -> give a it a name -> and in the assignment field tab click the ... that appears , this opens the assignemtn builder now use the functions provide and create this assignment
IF(IS_NOT_NULL(field name where INDIA is to be placed ),INDIA)
close the expression builder & in the table field row maintain the field name where you want the INDIA value to be placed.
In the record mode choose a record where this is to be replaced right click ,run the assignment -you get a success or failure message ,now if this is what you require then select all the records where you want this update & proceed.
Please let us know if your issue is solved , reward points too if so !

Anita

  • Problem in mapping from  import manager  to Data manager

    hi friend's....I got a problem while mapping the data from import manager  to Data manager .The problem is the data in import manager (i.e source hierarchy) will map to single filed in data manager ( i.e target hierarchy)..
    Help me it will be great full to me
    Regards
    Yugandhar

    Hi Ana,
    If you have a hierarchy in this format:
    N1            N2                 N3
    A              A1                 A11
    A              A2                 A21
    A              A3                 A31
    B              B1                 B11
    Then u have to follow these steps for import.
    1. Select source file and destination hierarchy table at top of import manager.
    2.  Go to Partitions tab (Second tab) Just above the tabs, if u click on the plus sign against your source file, you will see N1, N2 and N3. Cick on N1 and in partition tab, add N2 to right side by double clicking on N2.
    3. Now add N3 to right side by double clicking on it.
    4. Go to field mapping (Third tab). There you will see a field N1(Partition). Map this field to yourhierarchy field on destination side.
    5. In value mapping (Below the field mapping), Expand your source hierarchy. Select all (ctrl + A). Click on "Add" button. Select "Add Branch as child" option.
    6. Go to Matching tab (Fourth tab). only one field will be there. take ity on the right side. and select the import action as "Create".
    7. Go to last tab. Click on import button.
    Your hierarchy has been imported. You can check it in data manager (in hierarchy mode).
    Hope this solves your problem.

  • Connection to MDM data manager

    Hi All .
    I have connected to repository through console.But when I am trying to connect to data manager nothing is displayed like a blank screen ?What can be the reason for this?
    Thanks

    Hi,
    What do you mean by "like a blank screen". Are you able to see data manager main login window where we need to provide user login credentials?? Because, as soon as you click on the data manager Icon, it will open data manager login window. Once you provide user credentials, it will open data manager in record mode.
    Can you explain your issue further more...Is import Manager and other components working fine?? On what MDM version you are working...
    Also, if your lastly connected MDM server is not reachable (MDM 5.5), then sometime Data manager and import manager hangs up because of Last database entry in the registry.. Check this thread in case your problem is same

  • Workflow tab disabled in Data Manager

    Hi SDNers,
    In Data Manager, in record mode the <b>workflow</b> tab is disabled (greyed),
    I am logged in as Administrator, tell me if some authority or role settings are to be checked?
    Thanks,
    Gautam.

    Gautam,
    The workflow component to install is included with the GUI Clients and named MDMWorkflowInstall_Ver5.5??.exe. You will need to install this on each client PC running the Data Manager which you want the Workflow tab to be active on.
    Visio is only needed to create the actual workflows. Only users who will create workflows need Visio. Other users that will only be included in the workflow processes do not need to have Visio if they will not be creating workflows.

  • Transformation in matching mode in data manager

    Hi ,
    Can anyone tell me when should we do trasformation in data manager (matching mode)? How can we do it?
    Can any one provide me example?
    Thanks

    Hi,
       Transformations is a first step that we need to do in matching and merging process in MDM data 
       manager to eliminate the duplicates.
      Generally the same data in different remote systems will be maintained differently according to their
      naming conventions, but it does n't allow us to do deduplication in data manager.
      We need to normalize the data in specific format so that we can  go for deduplication on a specific field.
       To create transformation ,
       Select transformations tab in data manager
       Give name for transformation.
       Select the field on which you want to apply  transformation.
       Create the substitutions .In substitutions we have From means original data and To means destination
       data and Token means whether source data has to be converted in token wise or not.
       After that create rule and include transformation there.
      Hope it helps,
      Reward points,if found useful

  • Data manager - Matching mode

    Hi,
    I am using MDM 5.5. and in Vendor deduplication I have created the rules and startegies. And in the matching mode the system gave me the list of HIGH possible duplicates. Is there a way that i can pull the data our from the data manager and send it to the user to confirm that this is the duplicate vendors.
    Appreciate your quick reply
    Thanks,
    Suresh

    Hi Suresh,
    You can use APIs for this purpose.
    Other, workaround is that you can use MDM Workflow. As i don't have MS Visio installed but think it should work.
    See in workflow when your Merge step comes, you will come to know the scores and hence therefore can send these duplicate vendor records out of MDM.
    I think for this there should be two WORKFLOW1: START>MATCH>STOP
    WORKFLOW2: START->SYNDICATE-->STOP
    During WORKFLOW1 MATCH STEP when a use Execute this step, he will come to know Duplicate records by SCORE and COLOR, SAY DURING MATCH STEP you have 10 records out of 40 which are duplicates, now you will select these all 10 duplicate records right click >Choose Workflow>Split records into a new JOB(WORKFLOW2).
    So all these duplicate records will syndicate out of MDM as WORKFLOW2 contains SYNDICATE STEP.
    Also after sending only duplicate records, you can complete WORKFLOW1 by sending it to next step STOP.
    I don't have work-flow(MS-VISIO) installed, so cant test it at my end.
    Just Check it and revert with Result if it helps, i think it should work else you can use APIs

  • MDM Data Manager step-by-step process with an example

    Hi All,
    I recently started reading MDM. I am clear with MDM-Console concepts. But I have problem with MDM Data Manager. I am confused with data entries in qualified tables, work flows(using microsoft studio), Matching mode- rules(High treshold, low threshold) etc.. I read material posted in forums- but still I am not clear.
    I need a step-by-step process for data entries with *examples*. A good example which covers all Data Manager concepts. PDF's with screen shots, videos any thing would help.
    Please help me......It would be of great help.
    Thanks in Advance.
    Suchir

    Hi Suchir ,
    MDM 5.5 has 4 MDM clients to perform 4 main functionality on the MDM master records.
    - Console- This is where all the Administrative work is performed
    - Data Manager- This is where the actual maintainence work is done on the master data like consolidation deduplication etc.
    - Import manager- Thsi is from where the source matser records are taken into MDM repoistory
    - Syndicator- This is from where teh consolidated master data is send back to the target systems.
    MDM Data Manager is the heart of MDM
    The activities that can be performed in the MDM Data manager are:
    - Data Consolidation
    - Data Validation
    - Data Deduplication
    - Data Assignment
    - Data Governanace
    etc......
    Qualified Table:
    - Qulaified tables are used to store relational records where one field value is determining the other field or fields value.
    - Qualified tables are maintained in Console and can be viewed in Data Manager
    - Qualified Table are viewed under a separate section in Data Manager in the right hand side.
    - Qualified table has Non qualifiers and Qualifiers.
    - Non qualifiers can be seen in the  Qualified table and in the linking Qualified field
    - Qualifiers can be seen separately under the Qualified section in the data manager
    Kindly refer the below link to know more on this:
    https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/00a15239-684e-2b10-b8ae-b936b7d1c1fe
    Workflows
    - Workflows are designed in MDM for Governanace
    - You can create the MDM workflow using the MS Visio 2003 stencils in the MDM Data manager in the record mode under the workflow table
    - The saved workflow in DM can then be executed either mnaully or automatically based on teh trigger actions
    - The trigger action for teh MDM wf are record Add,Update,Import,Manual
    Kindly refer the below link to know more on this:

    Matching Mode
    - This mode is exclusively for Master data deduplication
    - We need to create Rules,Strategies,Transformation in MDM data manager in teh record mode
    - Then you need to run these strategies on the selected records
    - Based on your score and threshold set in the strategy MDM will identify duplicate records
    - This score will be seen in teh Matching mode
    - Colour coding is used along with scores to find out dupliactes
    - Green - 100%dupliacte Blue- 50?% Red- No duplicate

  • Data Manager Diff. Tab

    Hi Experts,
    In data Manager Matching mode under rule tab there are fields Success and failure and undefined.
    Under strategies tab High Threshold, low threshold, Min score and Max score
    Under transformation tab preview .
    Please tell me what are the functions of these fields?
    Thanks
    Shalini

    Hi Shalini ,
    The Transformations, Rules and Strategies tabs comprise the u201CDesign Timeu201D portion of Matching mode.
    The Matches and Merge tabs on the other hand comprise the u201CRuntimeu201D portion of Matching mode.
    Workflow Tab supports Matching and Merging Automation.
    Terms and there Functions:
    1. Normalization: When we remove the Special Characters as well as the Short forms from our data we say that the data is Normalized and this is used in Transformation technique.
    2. Token: When we have to reduce the short forms they are known as Tokens.
    3. Score : Score actually helps us to define the Result in the following ways:
    u2022 Success :   If we find the duplicate fields it shows Success
    u2022 Failure :  If we do not get any Duplicate field we say it is a Failure
    u2022 Undefined :  If any of the field contains Null Value we say that it is undefined.
    There are two types of Scores also:
    u2022 Maximum Score
    u2022 Minimum Score
    Maximum Score and Minimum Score:  The read-only Min Score and Max Score properties are calculated automatically by MDM based on the Success scores of ever matching rule included in the strategy, and allow you to set the values of Low Threshold and High Threshold properties to classify the results.       
    4.Difference between Equals and Token Equals:
    u2022 Equals :  Exactly matches the data
    u2022 Token Equals:  Fuzzy Matches are also considered.
    5.Threshold: There are two categories of Threshold:
    u2022 High: Records whose total score is greater than or equal to the High threshold score are included in the list of potential matches in the Matches tab and placed in the High match level.
    u2022 Low: Records whose total score is greater than or equal to the Low Threshold score are included in the list of potential matches in the Matches tab and placed in the Low match level.
    The Tabs along with there Functionality:
     Transformation: It basically helps us to normalize the data.
     Rules: This tab is used to define certain rules for our search i.e. what rules needs to be followed to find out the Duplicate values.
     Strategies: Strategies are the collection of Rules, we try various combinations of the rules we have already created and then try to find out the Duplicate Records.
     Matches: In this tab we can see all the entries which are found to be duplicating in our data, here we need to include all those entries which we want to merge, so that we can get cleansed data.
     Merge: Merge on the other hand is use to merge the Duplicate data into one. It has further two parts:
    u2022Set:  This is used to select the data for a field of your choice among all the duplicate data that has been found.
    u2022Concatenate: If we want to concatenate the two data for the same field then we use Concatenate.

  • CM Repository manager in FSDB mode

    Hi ,
    I am creating a CM repository manager with persistent mode as FSDB.I have created a network path and given a username which is having full control in the remote machine.
                                 But when I am checking in component monitor it is giving the folowing error and the repository manager fails to start.
    Startup Error:  Error occured while retrieving canonical name for folder '

    The CM repository in mode FSDB keeps the namespace structure of the repository in the database just as it does in the other modes. Any change is done parallel in the file system and in the internal database.
    Since we have mode FSDB and the file system might change at any time by external processes, there is a component called synchronizer that checks with every lookup if the file system and the internal structure are still in sync. To determine this it looks at the modification date for folders and at modification date and size for plain files.
    If any of these do not match then the synchronizer overwrites and modifies the internal data to reflect again the status of the external file system.
    Now in your portal the synchronizer itself is working OK. That's because your repositories run fine locally.
    With your remote file systems I can think of some possible explanations.
    The caches might deliver responses after immediate file system changes. We ruled out this one already.
    The synchronizer might not recognize the changes in the file system's meta data. This is why I'd like you to try and compare the behaviour of the file system repository, see above.
    The synchonizer might run into some error when it tries to access the remote file system. This should be visible in the logs.

  • Lack of restriction on Matching Mode Pane

    Hi,
    is there any standard (or non-standard) functionality to restrict the different Tabs in the Matching Mode Pane in the MDM Data Manager?
    I couldn't find any functionality in the MDM Console to restrict that pane.
    e.g even a user with only read rights to all tables and no execution rights is able to delete and change matching strategies. This is very delicate information. So how can you forbid this for certain users?
    Thank you for the answers
    Best regards

  • Search for [Remote Key] and [Remote System] in Data Manager

    Hello all
    I would like to be able to search on the remote key and the remote system in the MDM Data Manager is that not possible? I thought I remembered seeing that possibility under the Free-Form Search but now I can't find it.
    I have, however, found this in the Data Manager reference guide:
    REMOTE SYSTEM AND REMOTE KEY FIELDS
    MDM uses the remote systems defined in the Remote Systems table
    within the MDM Console to store and maintain key mapping information
    for each record or text attribute. It does this using a virtual “key
    mapping” field that you never see in the MDM Client.
    This virtual key mapping field is very much like a qualified lookup field
    into a virtual key mapping qualified lookup table.
    Key Mapping information stored in virtual lookup field
    The Remote System and Remote Key fields are normally not visible;
    however, they do appear in several places in the MDM Client.
    Specifically, both fields: (1) appear in the File > Export dialogs in Record
    mode for exporting value pairs; (2) are recognized by the File > Import
    dialog in Record mode for importing value pairs; and (3) appear in the
    Edit Key Mappings dialogs in both Record mode and Taxonomy mode,
    for viewing and editing value pairs.
    Is there any way to search on the value in the remote key from the Data Manager?

    Not sure search i think not possible.
    But you can see keys as mentioned:
    Enable Key mapping in Console.
    MDM Client maens MDM Data Manager.
    They do appear in several places in the MDM Client or Data Manager. Three different methods to see in DM are given already below:
    Specifically, both fields: (1) appear in the File > Export dialogs in Record mode for exporting value pairs; (2) are recognized by the File > Import dialog in Record mode for importing value pairs; and (3) appear in the Edit Key Mappings dialogs in both Record mode and Taxonomy mode, for viewing and editing value pairs.
