Different options to merge records automatically?

Hi All,
Can any one please do let me know what are the different options/ways we can automatically merge a record?
Regards,
Rajeev

Hi Rajeev,
In addition to what I already mentioned,let me jot down my 2 cents here:
If in any case you are going for automatic merging of records,then you have to assumption/decions to make.
I mean you will either have to assume that your repository data is in very good shape and final merged record will take all the field data in MDM OR the source is in better shape and final field value should be picked from incoming record.
Now if you assume the former,that implies data is in good shape,then question comes how come duplicates are still there?
In case you use later assumption,you would have to ensure that data is in best shape through Validations/Assignments/Approvals and also take a call that MDM is storing data only for reporting purpose or hormonization also.
The following blog can give a fair idea regarding the code :

In all its a risky venture when you are going ahead with assumption with critical master data as it can cost big to business.
Thanks,
Ravi

How can I save individual merged records automatically in seperate folder?

I have several hundred records to pull in via a mailmerge.
one record per page and one per document.
I can do the merge fine, however at present it just keeps all of the records open until I save them which means I can only do these in batches else indesign crashes.
Is there a way I can get indesign to automatically save each individually merged record into a seperate folder? Ideally naming the saved document after two of the fields so the naming convention would be <<id>>-<<name>>
I've seen some stuff about scripting being available to indesign and I don't mind doing the reading and putting in the work to make this happen - Can anyone point me in the direction of any scripting for indesign quickstart type guides or offer up any other suggestion of how the above may be achieved.
Many Thanks

There are a couple of ways that this could be done but it involves scripts. See the following adobe forum posts:

Indesign CS3 Data Merge "Merge Records" Command. Help?

I'm looking to automate the merging of a mountain of records. I have 587 tab-delimited text files with 40 records each. I want to process these via Data Merge using a single pre-designed template with built-in placeholders and variable data fields, including a variable barcode graphic. In the end, I want to create 704 multi-page, 6-up per page, indesign files with merged data, and 704 multi-page PDFs.
Here's where I am at. Using a combination of AppleScript, TextWrangler and InDesign CS3, I am able to set up a loop where I can open the single template, save it to a new file with a new name, change its data source to the appropriate text file, and as a test, make a PDF of the template using the correct export preset. What I cannot seem to do is get the template to perform a "Create Merged Document...".
In InDesign CS3's AppleScript dictionary there is a command called "Merge Records" under the Data Merge section. It appears to do exactly what I am after. But when I try to use it (and the good Lord knows I have tried numerous permutations), it only returns errors like "Adobe InDesign CS3 got an error: active document doesn't understand the merge records message."
Anyone know what I am doing wrong? I have set up a separate AppleScript for testing purposes that opens up the template, saves it under a new name, and attempts a "merge records" command. Here it is. Maybe someone smart out there can tell me what I am doing wrong.
set templatePath to "Welch_Jobs:0_JOBS:280019_Churchill:WPC FILES:Workup:280019_6up_master template.indt" as text -- the main template file that will be modified, saved with a new name, then merged with its data to create a new merge file
set newTemppath to "Welch_Jobs:0_JOBS:280019_Churchill:WPC FILES:Workup:goody.indd" as text
tell application "Adobe InDesign CS3"
open file templatePath
tell active document
save to newTemppath
merge records
end tell
end tell
I have this feeling that this is a command that is actually unsupported. Google searches have been fruitless except for one poor soul who can't get it to work either. I have, however, seen that a similar JavaScript command exists called "DataMerge.mergeRecords". If it is impossible to do this via AppleScript, is it possible to make a JavaScript that will do it, and access the JavaScript with a "do script" command in the main AppleScript? If so, how would I accomplish this? What whould the JavaScript look like, and where do i need to put it?
I would greatly appreciate any help you, dear reader, can give me on this.

Well, did you look at the dictionary?:
merge recordsv : Merges records and produces an optional overset report.
merge records
data merge
output overset report file alias or
text] : The path to the file in which to store the overset report.
Note also that it's part of the Preferences Suite, not the Datamerge suite. Do you see differently?
Anyhow, you're clearly not calling it with a data merge parameter.
I also have a suspicion that it needs to not be inside a "tell active document" but it probably doesn't matter.
But my AppleScript is rusty.

Problem with merge records

Hi All,
My problem statement is as follows -
I have Customer Master data coming from a single client having some duplicates (internal). I have imported the data and merged the duplicates in the Data Manager client. Now while merging the records I am ending up with only a single record corresponding to say two merged records.
I have to send this data to BW where report has to be generated based upon the consolidated Master data.
Now my problem is that when I am syndicating the data I am able to send only a single merged record to BW however in BW the transactios are running on both the records (i.e both duplicate records).
Is there any way through which I can let both records be passed to BW (even after a merge operation in MDM)?
P.S. I have to retain the different Customer IDs after de-duplication (consolidation) as transactions have taken place over them.
Regards,
Pooja

Hi
I had same problem. Here to solve this you need to have right XSD defined with Root Element for syndication. Usually while extracting of xml you dont get the source id and key by default. You have to map the Roots for this then only the Source id and key will be exported. Also while syndicating the XML is generated for all the sources that you contiain in your repository but only the orginal source pointing to the record will contain the referece to that respective system. so in XI you need to export only the recrod entry from XML which contains the Source system id and key into BI.
Hope this answers you.

Syndication of merged records to multiple backend systems (MDM 7.1)

Hi all,
I have setup an MDM scenario with >1 ECC systems connected to MDM via PI. Everything works fine in terms of end-to-end process from ECC to MDM or MDM to ECC (creation, update, syndication). I have also merged records in MDM from the same backend system and am able to see the remote key information under 'edit key mappings' and when I update the merged records in mdm the data is olso updated in ECC.
BUT the update in ECC does not work for merged records where the keys are from different backend systems.
Example:
Remote system: RS1 and RS2
I have merged two records, one from RS1 and the other from RS2. The newly created record has two key mappings (RS1/RS2). Also the newly created record shows - let's say - RS1 in MDM and the the RS2 informaion is attached as remote system information. When modifying the record in MDM, only RS1 is updated but not RS2.
Remote Systems RS1 and RS2 are set up in the Cosole. Also I have setup a port for each remote system. Syndication in general works perfectly without any problem. I know that I have to trigger syndication for each port but still does not work. Any ideas?
Thanks!!!

Erdal
P.S. I am using MDM 7.1

Hi Erdal,
OK, I assumed a setup like this.
> in 5.5 there was "Output Remote Systems" whereas in 7.1 we don't have
You have this one in 7.1, too. "Output Remote Systems" was renamed to "Remote Key Override". I don't know why, but the functionality is exactly the same.
> "Supress Unchange Records" is checked
This explains the behaviour that you are facing. "Supress Unchanged Records" is used to distribute only these records that have been changed. What happens inside MDM is the following.
MDM Server creates kind of a change pointer for the changed record AND for each remote system that record belongs to:
Imagine you have a record A with a key for RS1 and RS2 each. You change this record. MDS creates two change pointers A-RS1 and A-RS2.
Now you switch to Syndicator and distribute the records with the port for RS1, but with "Remote Key Override" for both RS1 and RS2. Syndicator creates a single message and includes both the remote keys for RS1 and RS2. Furthermore it deletes BOTH change pointers A-RS1 and A-RS2 as the record was distributed for BOTH systems!
If you then connect with Syndicator to the port for RS2 and start the syndication, Syndicator cannot find any change pointers and thus won't create a message.
If you want to send the golden record to different systems, I'd suggest to add each system to MDM Console. Create a syndication map & port FOR EACH system. Within the map use the target system only as "Remote Key Override". Use "Supress Records without key" to exclude those records, that do not have a remote key for the target system. Use "Supress unchanged records" if you want to distribute only the changed records.
If you need a message having all keys of all systems (e.g. to update a BI system with grouping information), create a specific remote system for this purpose. Create a map & port, the map shall now use the "Remote Key Override" for all systems. The "Supress" settings can be made as above, but especially for BI we're recommending to syndicate always all records (do not "Supress unchanged records").
Best regards

Option Missing from "Record Keyframes" Box.

I'm working through the Motion 5 tutorials.(Lesson 4) It tells me to "Select 'Record keyframes on animated parameters only' and click OK." That is not an option in my Record Keyframes box. I've gone back and re-worked all the steps multiple times- no luck. Suggestions? Thanks.

That was removed on the Motion 5.0.2 update since keyframes now only get recorded automatically on parameters that have been keyframed by default.

You need to use form fields. See the Acrobat help section and this site: https://acrobatusers.com/tutorials/
However, that last part (receiving an automatic response when a form is submitted) has nothing to do with Acrobat, or even with the PDF file. This is something you'll need to set up on your web (or email) server.

Merge records

I have a need to merge records received from two different services in BPEL. Here's the requirement - A BPEL process invokes two different services. One of the services places a fixed-length flat file in the file system. The other service responds with a set of XML records. The XML records need to transformed and merged with those in the flat file and eliminate duplicate records (in terms of an ID field) while doing so. What could be an efficient way to do this? The XML file is at least 80MB in size. Will XSLT be memory intensive?

Not ideal use case for SOA Suite but achieveable.
If they are licensed for SOA Suite they can use OSB, this may be a better tool for this use case.
your xquery can look something like this:

                                    for $Runner in $Runners/ns1:Runner
                                      for $Odd in $Odds/ns0:RunnerOdds/ns0:RunnerOdd
                                       where $Odd/ns0:Runner_Num = $Runner/ns1:Runner_Num
                                    return
                                        <Runner>
                                            <WIN_Odd>{ data($Odd/ns0:WIN_Odd) }</WIN_Odd>
                                            <Runner_Num>{ data($Runner/ns1:Runner_Num) }</Runner_Num>
                                            <PLC_Odd>{ data($Odd/ns0:PLC_Odd) }</PLC_Odd>
                                            <Runner_Name>{ data($Runner/ns1:Runner_Name) }</Runner_Name>
                                            <Jockey_Name>{ data($Runner/ns1:Jockey_Name) }</Jockey_Name>
                                            <Runner_Status>{ data($Runner/ns1:Runner_Status) }</Runner_Status>
                                        </Runner>
                            </Runners>
                    } what this code does is merges 2 payloads, 1 payload has the name of horses, the other payload has the odds of the horse. You can merge using the where clause and linking via the key of Runner_num

I was trying to merge my iPhone contacts with my mac. However, after the info tab at the sync I do not get the option to merge. only overwrite the iPhone or the mac.

ICloud doesn't give me the option to merge safari bookmarks anymore. (iPad 2)

I had previously merged all of my bookmarks to my iPad using the iCloud. I decided I only wanted the bookmarks that were from my iMac, so I proceeded to manually delete all of the bookmarks from my iPad (sort of wanted to start with a clean slate). I didn't realize that when you turned the 'bookmarks' option off in the iCloud that you would be prompted to save/delete the bookmarks. Anyway, I hit 'delete' even though I had already got rid of them myself, but when I turned the option back on I wasn't given the option to merge anymore. However when I turn the option back to off, and only when I choose to delete, I get that little text on the screen "turning off bookmarks..." with the dotted circle that turns into a check mark. So my problem is that I don't have the option to merge anymore.
I started having this problem about 2 weeks ago and have done an update ever since. Everything on my iMac is up to date and my iPad2 is up to date as well (5.0.1). Anybody else having this same issue or have a resolution for this?

Reporting on Merged Records

I would like to know if there is a way to report on records that have been merged through Portal? It would be nice to be able to report which records have been merged over a time period (like within the last month), but if that is not possible, I am just looking for a way to report on merged records through other criteria. I heard that an iView is being developed to do this, but I can't find one for this functionality right now. I can display the Key Mapping info without a problem. But there is no way to search against this information.
Thanks,
Justin

I found the answer:
If you see the REP table, there is a column called REP_MAX_REP_SIZE which contains the maximum report size for each report. This value has a default value of 5000 for most of the reports. You can change this value to have a higher number so that the report returns the data. But increasing the number can reduce the response time since the number of records will be large.
