Data Merge From different soruces

We have scenarion where MDM is going to sned the two data set through two different syndication map - Product-Release (PR) and Release (R). These two messages needs to be merged based on the Release Number exisiting in both the message to form the final target message. I am planning to use BPM for this, but wanted to check if anything which I have missed in this. I think it is possible to merge two messages into one based on some identifier (ReleaseNumber) through co-relationID. Any input or validation would be helpful.
Thanks,
Samir

Yes. You must use BPM and you must use correalation. Based on that, you have execute the transformation 2 to 1 type and send.

Can I data-merge with different masters?

I have a project that has three different page layouts and the choice of layout is data dependent.
Conceptually what I want is for the 10th field in my data record to tell InDesign which master page to use before merging the data from that record.
Can such a thing be done with the standard data-merge facility? Is there an affordable (<$100) third-party solution? Could this be done with a script?

Conceptually what I want is for the 10th field in my data record to tell InDesign which master page to use before merging the data from that record.
Triggering a master using data merge... no, at least not from InDesign only. VDP software such as XMPie (i pick this because I have used the trial version) can do this, BUT it doesn't fulfil the next requirement of being <$100, and I don't think you will find ANY VDP solution for that.
Instead, I would suggest an alternative. Rather than triggering a master page, I would suggest making a frame in the background of the page that uses a data-merge image field, so if you are changing letterheads mid-stream based on the data in the job, this will work. The catch is, there's no way indesign's data merge will trigger this by itself based on the data in the file. Instead, the data would have to include an additional field that reflects the relevant page background, and if using an excel spreadsheet to make the data, would require some creative if/else statements.
So it is possible. It slows down the processing of the file tremendously, and I'm not sure how many records are being merged.
So far as is it scriptable? Yes, most things are scriptable in InDesign. Is someone going to volunteer to prepare such a custom-script for nothing... unlikely.

How to run data merge from external hard drive?

I attempting to merge a large document (~4,000 records) in CS3. The document that I'm merging the data into is also large (an 8 page newsletter). I have exported the pages of the document as a PDF and the imported them again (therefore minimizing the data/links/etc.) but the amount of memory it was consuming was still crashing the program when I ran it on my computer. I bought a TB external hard drive and would like to run the merge from there so that it is using that memory/RAM instead of my computer's. I moved the indesign file, all the pdf links, and the .csv file that is the data source to the external hard drive. That didn't solve the problem. Is the merge now running from the external hard drive and still not working or is there something further I need to be doing to get InDesign using the external hard drive memory instead of my computer's memory? Any advice would be wonderful, thanks!

Import Data Table from Different DB Schema in BI Administration

Here is my scenario:

When I select fields from more than one schema in BI Answer, incorrect result is returned.

It seems that query has been seperated into two, and doesn't have relationship between each others.
However, I also tested the same situation in other environment, and it returns correct result. I found that the query hasn't been seperated into two, but one. The query is as below:

This query returns correct result and seems reasonable.
Assume that the setup in BI Administration is the same for both environment, why the first situation returns query that are separated?

I have made the same remark but not with two different environment and same design.
What can influence the construction of two queries ?
Here some ideas :
- if you have of course two connections pools (I assume not)
- if in our database features (double click on the icon and choose the tab feature), full outer join is not supported
But I have this two requirement on my laptop and I can see that I have also two sql fired.
What you can do is to make a comparison of your two repository.
In the administration tool, File/Compare.
The result will be very interesting.

Help with data merge from Excel

I think it's easiest to first explain the project...
I am working on a print project that has an excel file containing specific data per person. The data gives FirstName, LastName, Picture, About, Phone, etc. per person (over 100 people) I am making a 3 page InDesign template to generate each persons info.
The problem is the About column of data. The about column contains 2-3 paragraphs of text per cell. These paragraphs need to be formatted as separate paragraphs so that I do not have 1 continuous line of text. When I import the csv or txt (doesn't matter which way I save out the file) InDesign is not reading those paragraph breaks properly and all data after the first cell of About data is missing when I preview. If I remove the spaces in the About cell data it works perfectly.
I know large spaces in comma delimited data often cause problems (I work in prepress) and we usually remove all extra spaces from cells, but in this instance I need these spaces AND I need them to format properly in my InDesign template. Any ideas or suggestions would be greatly appreciated, and will likely save me a great deal of work.
I am using CS2.
Thanks,
Patty

I did get your email, and as I posted above, I think Ken's suggestion to use the Rorohiko plugin will be more satisfactory than trying to completely rework your data file (though I don't have a complete picture of the file structure based on the PDF).
In order to get threaded text you must either flow it in as threaded text, or combine the separate frames. Since the plugin will do the latter in a matter of moments, and preparing the text file for autoflow if it needs major revision or is of any great length could take considerably longer (plus you will then need to run multiple find/change operations to re-format the specially prepared text), I didn't pursue asking for a sample of the data file.
Should you decide you want to modify the data, you will need to do something like move it into Excel, then most likely concatenate all of the fields that need to remain on a single line (using a special separation character (~, %, ! or other symbol that doesn't otherwise appear anywhere in your data that you can later change to a tab), leaving yourself with only cells for each individual line, and save as tab delimited text. This should give you a text file that looks like:
Line1 (tab) line2 (tab) line3 (tab) line4
Line1 (tab) line2 (tab) line3 (tab) line4
Line1 (tab) line2 (tab) line3 (tab) line4
Line1 (tab) line2 (tab) line3 (tab) line4
Place the text file, then run a find change to convert tabs to forced line breaks (not end of paragraph), another to convert forced line breaks immediately followed by paragraph ends (or blank space if that's how it comes in -- I haven't tested to see what an empty cell looks like) to just paragraph ends to eliminate blank lines (I suppose you might also have blank lines in the middle, which would mean running a find change for consecutive forced line breaks with nothing between), and finally one to change your special joiner character to a tab.
This structure will allow you to use a nested paragraph style to format the different pieces of the directory in one operation, but as you can see it's fairly complicated to execute.

How to store as single record data coming from different ods to cube

Hi All,
we have the scenario like .
Same contract values are uploaded from 3 ods to cube.In the cube this information is stored as 3 different records.
Is there any option having same contract no and same fiscal period values should be stored as single record in cube.
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Shradda.

Hi Shradda,
On Performance Side .....consider below points
1. Indexes on Cube ( That delete indexes before load and create them after Load ).
2. Aggregate Design ( Decision on Base Aggregates, roll up Hierarchy , BW Statistics etc ).
3. Partition of InfoCube ( Basically decision on No. of Partition )
4. Data Package Size ( Always try to have larger Data Package so that preaggreation will reduce the no. of Data Records ).
Best is Service.sap.com on BI page u will find material for performance . THat will help you .
To assign points on the left of screen u will get radio buttons for assigning points for each person who has responded .

Data Merge from Multiple image folders

I'm on a MAC running CS3 and trying import several thousand images via DataMerge that are all housed in different folders.
It is very difficult to move all the images to a single folder where the Tab Delimited File lives, which I understand is how I'm supposed to use DataMerge.
Does anyone know who to specify the proper path on a MAC that will recognize my each of my folders and files within? I tried every configuration I can think of and nothing is working.
for example here are just a few of what I've tried. Nothing works but logic would say that it should am I wrong?
Mike:Users:Desktop:Images:A:01.jpg
Users:Desktop:Images:A:01.jpg
:Mike:Users:Desktop:Images:A:01.jpg
../Mike:Users:Desktop:Images:A:01.jpg
Mike/Users/Desktop/Images/A/01.jpg
~Mike:Users:Desktop:Images:A:01.jpg
~Users:Desktop:Images:A:01.jpg
~Users/Desktop/Images/A/01.jpg
HELP! Please

@ Peter thanks for your help.
I saw some tutorial on youtube that said the file had to be in the images folder and then everything I tried seemed to echo that.
I also tried the copy path from InDesign from a placed image to no avail. Then the get info (mac trick) from the finder to get the path. also to no avail.
I even followed Adobe's instructions on the their site
http://www.adobe.com/designcenter/indesign/articles/indcs2at_datamerge.html
But what I finally found is that the Tab Delimited file first has to be relative to the filepath specified.
ie.
if my images are located in
/Mac HD/Users/Mike/Images/Art/Round1/01.jpg
/Mac HD/Users/Mike/Images/Art/Round1/02.jpg
etc.
and my text file lives in the Art folder. All I have to specify the path name from Round1 onwards, not back to the root level as I thought.
so
/Round1/01.jpg
/Round1/02.jpg
is all I need to include in the text file

Data extraction from different clients

Hi ,
I am extracting the from R/3 810 to BI 800 client . Is it possible to do the extraction from diffenrent clients ? While extracting the data at infosource level transfer rules structure is pointing to flatfile source system instead of sap source system by default and i am getting error like Transfer rules are not activated (But tranfer rules Activated/Saved ) . Please guide me .
Thanks In Advance
Uday

Hi Udaya,
Off cource you can load from as many clients as you want. I think in your case transfer structure is referring to more than one source system. If you drop down the Source system (option in transfer structure) you will find more than one source system. Select the source system that you want and activate the infosource again. It should fine after that.
Hope this helps.

Data merge from two columns

Hello all,
We have a requirement that we need to combine data from two columns. We have comments1 field in TABLE A and comments2 and comments3 fields in a TABLE B. The the report has a condition:
Begin
If status = 'Pre-Award' then
Print comments1 from TABLE A;
ELSIF
status = 'Post-Award' then
Print comments2 and comments3 from TABLE B;
END IF
END
Tools version: Oracle reports version 6i.
Thanks in advance.
Arun.

There's a couple of ways to do this.
One way would be to create a placeholder column for your comments.
The create a function (much like what you have already listed) to determine which comments to use and place the value of that comment into your placeholder column. You can then use it in that group just as you would any other field.

Data modified from different sources

I have a problem with getting data into an AB ML1200 PLC. I will simplify this to explain: I have data going into reg N7:0 thats the result of a calculation. Lets say
"N7:0=TextEntry1.value*10". All goes well, but there is another local HMI that also writes to N7:0. Although this local HMI's N7:0 value shows the reflected change of the calc above from Lookout, any attempt to change the local HMI's N7:0 value is overridden by the calc. I need to be able to change the value from the local HMI and have Lookout update the "TextEntry1.value" to reflect the change. It sounds simple enough but it's kickin' my butt! As a sidenote I wouldn't have this problem if the AB driver in Lookout for the MicroLogix supported float (F) regs - I was kind of shocked it did not. Any ideas?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

It looks like you need to make the connection on remote source. For example, create a pot. On its property page, edit its remote source to the N7:0. It will be both read and write connection.
But you also need to mutiply the value by 10, so you can first create an Alias on N7:0 by right-clicking on driver object and select Edit Data Member Configuration. Input the scaling, for example, raw value from 0 to 100, and eng value from 0 to 10, so that this Alias will represent the value of N7:0/10. Give a name to this Alias. And then, bind the pot's remote source to this Alias. Have a try.

Different QT Data Rates from Different FCP Versions

My sound guy requires a Motion JPEG A version of my timeline, 320 x 240, 2 fields, odd dominance, at around a 1000-1500 kbit/sec data rate (no audio attached). When I did such conversions from FCP 4.5 / OS 10.3, the quality meter would have to be set to 70% to fit into his data rate requirement. I recently upgraded to FCP 5.0 / OS 10.4 and now I have to set the quality meter to around 15% to get the same data rate!!! What's going on? This quality is far too low for my sound guy to do his job.

Combined more Data Fields from different segments in single report

Hi all,
i want to combined report from more then one segment(like 2 fields from Sales & Distribution & one Field from Inventory) then what should i do so far,
should i create cubes in respective segment,
either i create that but when i add it into Select item in that after selection of a field all of others segment disabled.

Hi
By far the simplest method would be to concatenate the two fields in a calculation like this: FIELDA || FIELDB
Should you want spaces between them then do this: FIELDA || ' ' || FIELDB
If you want a dash and spaces either side you do this: FIELDA || ' - ' || FIELDB
Does this help?
Best wishes

DATA MERGE SLOW

I'm running Windows 7, plenty of RAM, InDesign CS6, Excel 2007
Data Merge from Excel spread is very very slow above 100 records.
Turned off preflight and report generation to see if that helped..not resolved I'm afraid.
The merge works well with 100 records...
Any suggestions, as to what to try next
dave

its almost 7000 records, with approximately 70 individual placeholders per
final page, and the placeholders are located within an excel csv file, so I

Data Merge Multiple Records Per Page Greyed Out

I am using InDesign cs5.5. I am attempting to create a catalog with the data merge option. I am attempting to do a data merge from the Master Page.
As you can see in the image, I have inserted my fields from the data source file. All images, original file, and data source file are in the same folder. I am inserting this info on the left sheet of the master file. When I select "Create Merged Document" the "select multiple records per page" is greyed out, however, there is plenty of room on the page for the 8 records I want it to show. See image below.
After watching tutorials, reading, etc. I made sure that my document does not have facing pages. I deleted my "page 2" to avoid that conflict. I made sure that the placeholder "allows overwrite from the master". I also deleted my "cache"/settings" by doing "ctrl, alt, shift" when reopening the program. I read that it may be because the files need to be on the right hand sheet of the master, however, when I move my info to the right sheet, I get the following message.
I have watched the tutorial videos, read the entire help section regarding data merge, and have correctly created my data source file. I've tried everything I've seen on the forums, apart from uninstalling and reinstalling. Please tell me that someone can help me figure this out as soon as possible. I'm in crunch time!
Thanks a lot.

Thanks Peter. That helped me un-grey the multiple records. I was able to complete a data merge, however, this is what happens.
As you can see in this image, I have the margins setup the way I prefer, and the data merge previews correctly.
Once I click to merge, this is the new document I get - it's only putting one record per page (even though the multiple records per page is selected), and it inserts this layout, not onto actual pages in indesign. It looks reall odd.
And when you scroll down,
Any suggestions on fixing this?
Also, my InDesign freezes up when I try and do a merge of my entire sheet (182 items). The images above are when I tested doing just records 1-32.
Thanks in advance and thanks for being so prompt yesterday. Very helpful.
